GENERAL RULES 1 COMPOSITION OF CREW 2 DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES The composition of crew is contained in PART 3 of these Rules. 2.1 CLASS A - All square-rigged vessels and all other vessels over 40m length overall (LOA). 2.2 CLASS B - Traditional-rigged vessels with an LOA of less than 40m and with a waterline length (LWL) of at least 9.14m. 2.3 CLASS C – Modern-rigged vessels with a LOA of less than 40m and with a LWL of least 9.14m, not carrying spinnaker-like sails (see Rule 28.3). 2.4 CLASS D – Modern-rigged vessels with a LOA of less than 40m and with a LWL of at least 9.14m, carrying spinnaker-like sails (see Rule 28.3). Notes: 1. Square-rigged vessels (Class A) are defined as those vessels whose sail plan is ship, barque, barquentine, brig or brigantine. 2. Traditional-rigged vessels (Class B) are defined as those vessels whose sail-plan has a predominance of gaff sails. 3. Modern-rigged vessels (Classes C and D) are defined as those vessels whose sail-plan has a predominance of Bermudan sails. 4. Only vessels racing in Class D may carry spinnaker-like sails (See Rule 28) 5. Length Overall (LOA) is the length between the forward end of the STEM post and the after end of the STERN post. It does not include the bowsprit, pulpit or any other extension at the bow or stern. 3 DIVISION OF CLASSES 4 OBSERVANCE OF RULES 5 MULTI-HULLED VESSELS CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C and CLASS D may be divided into divisions if the number of entries warrants it. When vessels sail at night and are out of sight of one another, the captain/master may be the sole judge of whether the rules have been kept or not. He must, when signing the Declaration Form, be satisfied that no attempt had been made to win the race other than by fair sailing. The deck log, engine log, track chart or the viewing of electronic chart voyage data may be required as evidence if a Protest has to be heard. No Multi-Hulled vessel may take part in any sail training race or other events organised by Sail Training International Group. (RULES 6 – 9 SPARE) 2 May 2012
RACING RULES 10 GENERAL AUTHORITY OF THE RACE COMMITTEE All races shall be under the direction of the Race Committee. All matters, and in particular relating to the imposition of penalties or other sanctions, shall be subject to their approval and any questions and disputes, which may arise, shall be subject to their decision - see RULE 30. Their decision shall be based upon these rules so far as they apply, but, as no rules can be devised capable of meeting every incident and accident of sailing, the Race Committee shall have the power to make decisions in accordance with the customs of the sea. They will discourage all attempts to win a race by any means other than fair sailing – see RULE 51. 11 RATING 11.1 Every vessel must have a valid Sail Training International Group Rating Certificate before the start of a race. The Time Correction Factor (TCF) of every vessel competing will be available together with the Sailing and Communication Instructions at the Sail Training International Group Race Office before the start of a race. The TCF so listed at the start of a race shall be that from which the vessels corrected time will be calculated, and shall be final for that race. 11.2 Rating Certificates are valid for the year of issue only, as each year a vessel’s Age Allowance increases. In addition, the Sail Training International Group Rule of Rating is amended from time to time when a better appreciation of the potential speed of different vessels can be assessed. 12 RACE DOCUMENTATION 12.1 Crew Lists 12.1.1 No vessel may start a sail training race or cruise-in-company until the official Sail Training International Group Crew List has been lodged with the Race Office and accepted by the Race Committee as complying with the composition of crew applicable to the Race Series (See PART 3). Only the crew list supplied by the Sail Training International Group Race Office, or an equivalent IMO crew list acceptable to the Race Committee, will be acceptable and the following information must be provided for everyone on board in the race: Name, sex, nationality, age, date of birth, number and nature of identification document, name and address and (if possible) telephone number of next of kin. 12.1.2 The age given of every person on board should be that on the day which the race or cruise-in company starts. 12.1.3 The crew list normally gives sufficient information to meet the requirements of the immigration authorities in addition to supplying the information required by Sail Training International Group. 12.1.4 Unless previously agreed with the Race Committee, completed Crew Lists signed by the captain/master must be handed in to the STI Race Office by no later than 12 hours before the official fleet undocking time as published in the Advance Notice and Arrival Arrangements. Failure to do so will incur a Standard Time Penalty (see RULE 27.2) or lead to disqualification. 3 May 2012
