2. The Championships will consist of a series of races according to the Racing Programme set by the Committee and voted on at the AGM.

3. The best results of each yacht competing in the series shall count towards the championships. The Committee shall determine the number of qualifying races to count, which shall not in any case by more than half those in the programme.

4. One point will be awarded to the yacht finishing first on corrected time and thereafter two points for the second, three for the third, four for the fourth and so on. Yachts that do not complete the course will be awarded points equivalent to those for last place plus one extra starter. Yachts that are disqualified will be awarded points equivalent to those for last place plus two extra starters. Non-starters will score zero.

5. Championship races will be open to any RCC yacht. Any such yacht sailing about in the vicinity of the starting line prior to the preparatory signal shall rank as a starter in the race. Only yachts owned by or in the charge of a paid-up member of the Club will be awarded points to count for the Championships. Where, however, Championship Races are organised by another Organising Authority, competitors shall comply with its Rules and Sailing Instructions.

RACE ORGANISATION Club Championship Races are for the Wherry Trophy (overall) and the Hiawatha Prize (smaller boats). Those races eligible for the championship series are marked with an asterisk (*) on the programme. All full members may, from time to time, be expected to organise a club race: in this case their yacht will appear in the programme as the organising boat. So long as the nominated boat's crew, or their (willing!) nominee, fulfils the duties of O.O.D., the nominated yacht will be eligible to take part in the race. If the owner or crew of an organising yacht are unable to attend, they should inform the Secretary. Organisers of events held jointly with other clubs, such as BSC, should ensure that results are compiled and collected for YSC entrants. Race briefing times for the first race of any event will be notified in advance.  Additional briefings will be conducted at the discretion of the race officers.  Where another club is involved, YSC race organisers will liaise with local officials.
Queries regarding the sailing programme or race organisation should be addressed to the Secretary.
