2021 TEAM RACING EVENTS
FRI. AUG 13 - TEAM RACING for NICKERSON CUP @ CYCCM
The Nickerson Cup was not awarded for several years due to the falling off of TEAM RACING in MAYRA. In 2018, Past Commodore Dan Cullen brought back the TEAM RACING event and thus the challenge for the Nickerson Cup. The event has been a huge success - won by the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May in 2019.
MAYRA 2021 OFFSHORE RACING CIRCUIT
NOTICE OF CIRCUIT
1.0 Invitation
You are cordially invited to participate in the MAYRA ORC to be held during July and August 2021.
2.0 Rules
Each of the three MAYRA offshore events included in the MAYRA ORC will be governed by their own Sailing Instructions and are organized by their own host yacht club or clubs. MAYRA is the organizer and sponsor of circuit scoring only. A committee consisting of the chairs of the three offshore events of the MAYRA ORC shall declare circuit winners based on the scoring system contained within this Notice of Circuit.
3.0 Eligibility
All members of MAYRA Yacht Clubs are eligible to participate in the MAYRA ORC.
4.0 Schedule
Two scheduled offshore events comprise the 2021 MAYRA ORC. These events are as follows:
July 31st Avalon Cup
August 7th and 8th Cape-to-Cape Challenge
TBD Leukemia Cup
5.0 Scoring
Scoring is based on the Low Point scoring system as described in Appendix A4 and A9 in the Racing Rules of Sailing. Participation in one event is required for qualification. A yacht’s final circuit score shall be the total of her final positions in each of the events sailed. Yachts which do not participate in all three events shall receive a DNS for the events not sailed. For each of the three events, a yacht’s final position in her class shall be used for circuit scoring, not including feeder races.
In order for a one-design class to receive a seasonal award (see section 6.0) that class must be represented in at least two of the three MAYRA ORC events.
If some classes are combined in some regattas but not in others, their scores shall be broken out by their MAYRA ORC class for the purposes of circuit scoring. Specific scenarios may be as follows:
5.1 Multiple classes due to large fleet size
It's possible/probable that there may be multiple PHRF spinnaker classes at one of the three events. There may also be multiple PHRF nonspinnaker classes. The classes would be broken out by rating (ie high ratings and low ratings). In this scenario there will be two 1st place boats in the PHRF spinnaker division and two 1st place boats in the Nonspinnaker division. There will be no attempt to break the tie based on these results alone. The other events will ultimately become the tie breakers where all PHRF spinnaker boats will sail head-to-head and all PHRF non-spinnaker boats will also sail head-to-head.
5.2 Merged classes due to small fleet size
If the J70 class is merged with the PHRF Spinnaker class in any event, points will be assigned for the purposes of circuit scoring as follows. The first J70 to finish will be assigned one point for the purposes of circuit scoring for the J70 award, even if a lower place was assigned in the merged class. Similarly, the second J70 will be assigned two points, and so on for all J70s. All PHRF spinnaker boats will be assigned the number of points for circuit scoring based on their final position in the particular event as if the J70s were not part of their class. This same rule shall apply to the J24 and Melges24 classes if they are merged with the PHRF Spinnaker class in any event.
6.0 Prizes
Individual Class prizes (keepers) for the MAYRA ORC will be as follows:
1st place PHRF Spinnaker
1st Place PHRF Non-Spinnaker
1st Place J70
1st Place J24*
1st Place Melges24*
*Assuming class eligibility has been met as described in section 5.0 of this document.
In addition, a perpetual MAYRA Trophy will be presented to the circuit winner of each class. The name of the winning yacht will be engraved on the award which will be held at the winning yacht’s home club for one year.
Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the final event in August. Prizes will be presented to the winners at the MAYRA seasonal awards banquet in December 2021.
7.0 Entry
There is no separate entry form or fee for the 2021 MAYRA ORC.
