In Memory of Faye Bennet
The idea of Long Beach Island Yacht Racing
Association began over a fish chowder lunch with one representative from each
one of the Island Clubs. The attendees took the idea of a combined racing
association back to
their clubs where it was well received.
Realizing the importance of having such a staunch sailing member in the
group, the logical person to fill this important slot was Faye Bennet. She
readily agreed to come on board and the fledgling group began.
The one steady driving force to success was Faye, struggling with
disagreements along the way.
Early in the organization’s years, Faye pressed for the Opti to be the
combining factor to meld the Clubs for interclub sailing.
Convincing the clubs of this fact proved harder than imagined, but when
Little Egg agreed to shelve its’ sneakbox, Faye’s dream became a reality. No
one deserves the credit for the success of this little boat on Long Beach Island
more than Faye. Without a common boat the ideals of LBYRA would have never been
achieved.
Faye also recognized that the older junior sailors needed a boat to carry
them on before the high performance fleets. She pushed for the adoption of the
420’s. Again, a success!
Faye’s foresight led to the combined sailing of all classes of boats on
the Island. Regattas happen once weekly for the juniors and a large combined
sail of all Senior sailors rounds out the summers.
Faye’s love for sailing and sailors will always be felt at the clubs of
Long Beach Island.

LONG BEACH ISLAND YACHT RACING ASSOCIATION
2009 Rules & Regulations for
Junior Events
(Revised
1. Venue
A. Weekly
Interclubs
The
LBIYRA Junior Interclubs shall be sailed on Wednesdays, on a rotating basis, at
each of the member clubs; Barnegat Light Y.C., Brant Beach Y.C., Brigantine
Y.C., Haven Beach Club, Little Egg Harbor Y.C., Spray Beach Y.C. and Surf City
Y.C. The club that hosts the LBIYRA Race
Week shall not host a “regular” interclub.
The final schedule shall be approved by the LBIYRA.
B. LBIYRA Championship Race Week
The LBIYRA Race Week
rotates annually between all member clubs.
Junior events are generally held on Wednesday and Friday but are subject
to change depending on host club’s schedule.
2. Jurisdiction
The LBIYRA Junior
Interclub Series and the LBIYRA Race Week shall be sailed under the
jurisdiction of the LBIYRA.
3. Rules
The races shall be
governed by The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), the prescriptions of the U.S.
Sailing Association, these Regulations and any applicable Class rules. Class membership is not required.
4. Classes
The following seven
classes are recognized by the LBIYRA for the 2007 season:
Laser 4.7 - Skipper may not be 19 during the calendar year.
Laser Radial - Skipper may not be 19 during the calendar year. The Laser 4.7 rig may be used.
Sunfish - Skipper may not be 19 during the calendar year. Crews are optional and may not be 15 during
the year.
C420- Skipper and crew may not be 19 during
the calendar year.
Optimist Dinghy: In accordance with the USODA Class rules (6.2,a,b), the fleet
shall be divided into three groups according to ages of the competitors on the
first day of the scheduled competition.
The fleet divisions shall be determined as follows:
“White Fleet” - 10 years old or younger.
“Blue Fleet” - 11 or 12
years old.
“Red fleet” - 13 years old
or older and shall not have reached their 16th birthday in the current calendar
year.
Full Rig Lasers may
sail and will have an opportunity to win flags during interclub races when 3 or
more boats compete, but will not be scored for the team championship. Skipper
may not be 19 during the calendar year.
5. Entries
A. Eligibility
All participants must be a member of an LBIYRA member club or be
enrolled in the junior sailing program of a member club and meet the age
requirements set forth above.
For the purposes of season scoring, each
skipper must declare at registration of the first race sailed in any class of
boat what club they represent. For each
Class of boat registration the skipper
can only represent one yacht club and cannot change their yacht club
affiliation. This rule pertains to
skippers who may be affiliated with more than one club, and for double handed
boats the skipper's affiliation shall determine what Yacht Club is represented.
B. Weekly
Interclubs
Each club may enter
an unlimited number of contestants in each class provided they meet the eligibility requirements.
C.
LBIYRA Race Week Eligibility Definitions
Open: Any age can compete.
Senior: Skipper must be at least 19
during the calendar year.
Junior: Meet the age requirements
outlined in Paragraph 4.
D.
General
The
participant’s birth dates are required on registration forms. A list of participants should be posted as
soon as possible at each event.
6. Entrance Fee
The
entry fee shall be $5.00 per person.
This is intended to cover the cost of providing lunch for all
contestants, instructors, and Race Committee and patrol members. All others may be charged a nominal
amount. The host club retains these
fees.
7. Race
Management
A. General
It is the intention
of the LBIYRA that the host clubs treat each Weekly Interclub and the LBIYRA
Race Week as a “major club regatta” and provide the appropriate Race Committee,
patrol boats and shore support as required.
It is expected that the member clubs will assist each other in
fulfilling these requirements. The Race
Committee shall not consist of any sailing instructors except in “emergency” situations. It is the intention of the LBIYRA to keep the
participants as informed as possible regarding scoring at each event. LBIYRA should schedule a scorer with a
computer/scoring program, post the list of participants as soon as possible,
and post the finishes for races as soon as available. Particularly pre-lunch race results should be
posted during lunch. This will provide
officials and participants more opportunity to recognize any scoring or
registration errors and time to correct them prior to the end of the day
B.
Schedule
The 2009 LBIYRA Junior schedule has been established
as follows:
July 8 Wednesday BBYC
July 15 Wednesday BYC
July 22 Wednesday LEHYC
July 29 Race Week BLYC
August
5 Wednesday SCYC
August 12 Wednesday HBC
August 19 Wednesday SBYC
The skipper’s
meeting will be held at
C. Starts
Races shall be
started in accordance with RRS 26 (“5-4-1-Go”) or Appendix Q (Sound Signal
Starting System – 3 Minute “Dinghy Start”). The details of the starting
sequence shall be explained at the skippers meeting. (LBIYRA recommends
the starting sequence be identified at each skippers meeting.)
D. Courses
As a minimum, two
courses will be required. Laser Radials,
Sunfish, and C420s may race together on one course. Optimist Dinghies must sail on a separate
course. Additional courses may be
utilized as room and resources dictate.
Courses for the
Optimist Dinghies shall be Triangular – four (4) legs. It is recommended that
the course not be “modified” by placing the start/finish line in the middle of
the windward leg.
Courses for the
C420, Laser Radials and Sunfish may be Triangle-Windward-Leeward, Windward/Leeward, or Triangular and may be “modified” with the
start/finish line in the middle of the windward leg.
The length of the
courses will depend on the conditions and the feasibility of completing five
races for the day. However, getting off good, fair races is more important than
the number of races.
E. Alternate
Penalty
RRS rules 44.1 and
44.2 shall be in effect for all races.
F. Sail Numbers
All participants are
encouraged to register their boats with their respective class associations and
display proper sail numbers. As a minimum, however, each sail shall
display a number of contrasting colors on each side. Each number shall be at least six inches high and one inch wide. In the case of duplicate numbers, the first
to register may use the number; duplications must affix two letters designating
their club (BL, BB, etc.). Boats not
adhering to these requirements may be scored DNC.
G. Coaching
Coaching by sailing instructors
will be permitted and encouraged prior to the preparatory signal for each
race. Absolutely no coaching is
permitted during a race by either sailing instructors or parents, with the following
exception. During weekly interclubs,
instructors, after receiving permission from the Race Committee, may coach
competitors who are significantly behind.
Infractions of this rule will result in disqualification of the
illegally coached participant.
H. Designated Finishes
The race committee
shall have the right to assign finishing positions, as it deems necessary, in
order to facilitate the start of the next race.
8. Safety
A. Life Jackets
Life jackets (USCG
Approved) shall be worn at all times by all participants. A boat whose skipper and/or crew do not
conform to this requirement will be disqualified. The LBIYRA endorses the U.S. Sailing
Association policy that instructors shall wear life jackets properly at all
times while on the water.
B.
Postponements/Abandonments
Races postponed or
abandoned due to extreme or threatening weather conditions are at the
discretion of the Race Committee in consultation with the designated LBIYRA
Representative. They should, however, be very conservative in making this
decision and carefully consider the sailor’s abilities as well as the
availability of qualified rescue boats.
Weekly interclubs shall not be rescheduled.
9. Protests
The intention to
protest must be signified by a loud hail of the word “Protest” to the offending boat. Displaying a protest flag is not
required but the Race Committee must be notified at the finish line of the
intent to file a protest. Protests should be written and filed within 1/2 hour
of the Race Committee docking. The
LBIYRA Representative for the event shall coordinate the formation of the
Protest Committee
10. Scoring
A. General
Low Point Scoring System, RRS Rule A4, will be
utilized for all Junior Interclub Series events and LBIYRA Race Week. Optimist fleet scoring will be based on
overall scores in accordance with the prescriptions of the USODA. (Appendix A9 does not apply)
B. Junior Interclub Series – Season Scoring
The LBIYRA will recognize both
individual and club (team) accomplishments for the season based on the
following prescriptions:
1. Individual Scoring
For the purpose of determining the final season standings
in each class, the following system will be used: Each individual will count
their four (4) best overall scores from seven possible
events: the six (6) weekly Junior Interclub Series events and Race Week (If only six of these races are held, the best
four still count, and if only five of these
races are held, then the best three finishes will count). DNC scores shall not be counted in season
scoring and a sailor must compete in four (or in certain circumstances three)
events to qualify for season scoring. These four placements are added to
determine the individual’s score for the season. Any ties will be broken in favor of the individual
with the most first place placements, then most seconds, etc. The full description and method of breaking
ties shall follow RRS A8 Series Ties. For the Optimist Dinghy, overall placements will be
utilized, not placements within each fleet (Red, Blue, White).
2. Club Scoring – Class Championship
For the purpose of determining the Club
Champion in each class, the following system will be used:
The final season position for the top three
(3) finishers (except for Optimist Red Fleet top two finishers) from each club will
be added to determine the clubs score for that class. Any ties will be broken in favor of the club
with highest individual finisher.
Only competitors scored in 10 (B) 1 will be
scored for the Class Championship so therefore no DNC scores will be
included. Any team without three
finishers per 10 (B) 1 (except Optimist Red two finishers) shall not be
eligible for the Class Championship. If
no club qualifies in a fleet, then for that fleet no Club Championship will be
awarded.
3. Club Scoring – LBIYRA Interclub
Championship
For the purposes of determining the
overall Interclub Champion for the season, the following system will be used:
Each club’s four (4) best class
placements as determined in accordance with article 10 (B) 2 above will be
added to determine the final overall club score. Any ties will be broken in
favor of the club with the most first place class placements, and so on. If a
tie still remains it shall stand.
If a club does not participate in a
particular class, they receive a placement of “8”.
In order
for a club to qualify to win the Overall Interclub Championship:
1.
Qualify in four of the
seven classes
listed in paragraph 4.
2.
To qualify in each
class: It shall have at least three individual sailors/boats (or two for Optimist Red Fleet) who have competed
and were scored in the same class in four of the
LBIYRA Races (made up of six interclubs and
LBIYRA Race Week)
If no
club meets these qualifications for the LBIYRA Interclub Championship then the
championship shall not be awarded.
11. Trophies
Junior Interclub
Series - Weekly
Triangular trophy flags will be awarded to the
top five individual finishers in each class.
Trophies are provided by the LBIYRA.
Junior Interclub
Series - Season
1. Trophies will be
awarded to the top five individual finishers in each class (skippers and crew).
2. One large rectangular
blue flag and the LBIYRA perpetual trophy (dagger boards, paddles, etc.) will
be awarded to the club winning each fleet.
3. One large rectangular
blue flag and the LBIYRA Perpetual Trophy will be awarded to the club winning
the overall LBIYRA Interclub Championship.
C. LBIYRA Race Week
1. Small rectangular
trophy flags will be awarded to the top three individual finishers in each
class.
2. LBIYRA perpetual
trophies will be awarded.
3. Perpetual trophies
shall be available to the LBIYRA Trophy Committee by July 1st of
each year.
