Registration Instructions for the BBYRA Championship Series 2011

May 2011

Dear BBYRA Sailor,

Welcome to the 2011 season! This letter outlines registration information for our Season Championship Series. A number of changes have been made to the sailing instructions for the 2011 season to accommodate the wishes of our fleets. Please note the following with regard to the registration forms, information, and process:

Throughout our forms and documents, the use of the word "Skipper" means "person in charge" who must be on board while racing (RRS 46).
One Upper Bay and one Lower Bay Tyvek Course Sheet are included with each season registration. Extra sets of Tyvek Course Sheets may be purchased at $4.00 per set while supplies last.
Crew awards will be given with trophies for applicable classes.
Races will be conducted on different venues. Please refer to Section 5 Venue in the Notice of Race and its attached schedule.
Competitors should review the 2011 BBYRA Championship Series NOR, Sailing Instructions, current Regulations of the BBYRA Championship Series, and the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) 2009-2012 as part of their pre-race preparation.

Please be sure to review the 2011 race schedule for your class. The 2011 BBYRA Championship Series NOR, Sailing Instructions and current Regulations of the BBYRA Championship Series will be available in the Annual Yearbook, on the BBYRA Web page at http://www.bbyra.org/sailing.shtml, and at Regatta Headquarters each week. Changes to the Sailing Instructions and BBYRA Regulations will be posted on the Official Notice Board located in the vicinity of the registration desk at each week's regatta headquarters. If you have any further questions, please direct them to Vice Commodore Ed Reardon at 732-269-9017 or e-mail to: 1reardon@comcast.net.

Regarding how to register for the season, the registration form is available on the BBYRA website, http://www.bbyra.org/reg_form.htm, and will be mailed to last year's season registrants. You may return the completed registration form along with your check payable to "BBYRA Season Registration" by mail postmarked on or before June 11, 2011. Boats sailing on the "Green Course" may also register in person at the weekly regatta headquarters. Boats sailing on the "White Course" may also register in person at either the weekly regatta headquarters, or prior to 0830 hours at: LYC on Upper Bay race days; or TRYC on Lower Bay race days.

As in the past, Season Registration will not be accepted, "on the water."

With regard to the 2011 registration and qualification requirements, a boat may register for the season, as described in the preceding section, or may register as a "Daily" registrant at the prescribed fee for its Class. Please note that the Daily Registration fee is per "race" for classes sailing on the Rose and Green Courses. Daily registration fee is $10 per "race day" for classes sailing on the White course. If a boat sails any portion of the season as a "Daily" registrant and then registers for the season, those daily fees paid up to that time will not be credited toward its Season Registration fee.

In order to qualify for the championship a boat must come to the starting area on at least 50% of race days scheduled for her class.

BBYRA Dues are payable through your yacht club prior to the first race of the season (June 25, 2011). Please contact your yacht club for payment of BBYRA Dues.

With regard to Daily Registration, Daily race registration may be made on forms available each race day at the weekly Regatta Headquarters, or on the water at a "Late Entry" boat. Daily race registration for boats sailing the "White" course will also be available until 0830 hours at LYC on Upper Bay race days and TRYC on Lower Bay race days, or at the Start Boat. A-Cats and E Sloops sailing the "Rose" course may register at the weekly regatta headquarters or "on the water" at the committee boat designated for that purpose.

The Daily Registration fee is $10 per scheduled race or race day depending on Class (See table above).

With regard to ordering lunches, competitors may order lunch when registering by mail on or before June 11, 2011. The lunch cost is $5.00 per person per week, for the number of weeks scheduled for each class as indicated in the registration table above and is only available at the weekly host club. After June 11, 2011 competitors must make their own arrangements with the weekly host club. Boats sailing on the White Course on Upper Bay race days may also purchase lunch from the LYC kitchen.

The BBYRA has a long and proud tradition of sailing and racing on Barnegat Bay. I look forward to building upon that tradition with more lively completion and challenging racing in 2011. I wish all BBYRA sailors an enjoyable and competitive season on the race course.

Best regards,

Richard P Proko
