Advertising Engineering Challenge Cup 05 th to 12 th of May 2012 The port and starboard bows and the stern areas of the participating yachts are reserved for our Gold Sponsors. No other hull advertising is to be placed on the stern or in front of the mast on any yacht participating in ECC 2012. Our “Gold” and “Silver” sponsors may fly their flags at any ECC 2012 event and all participants are positively encouraged to promote their companies by flying their flags in harbours. Eligibility and Entry The ECC 2012 regatta has a restricted entry due to over subscription and the perceived need to reduce the overall size of the fleet. Entries for 2012 are limited to those eligible skippers listed in this Logbook, who have paid the applicable ECC Fees and have met the other applicable entry requirements. An entry form shall be signed by the eligible skipper, containing words such as ‘I agree to be bound by The Racing Rules of Sailing and by all other rules that govern this event.’ Late entries will be permitted to replace a cancelled entry only with the approval of the Commodore, generally in accordance to the ECC Rules on Eligibility stated above in the ECC Charter, and depending on circumstances as deemed appropriate by the ECC Admiral or ECC Commodores Committee. The ECC fleet in 2012 will consist of approximately 53 yachts of 4 different groups, all Bavaria yachts in the Small 42’, Medium 46’ and Large 47’ to 50’ size range. Yachts entering must be chartered by the ECC organiser and endorsed by the Commodore to be considered eligible for competition in the ECC and Commodores Cup races. Measurements Similar yachts have been selected for the event to help ensure the results are based on skipper and crew performance. To make the Time Correction Factors (TCFs) as fair as possible measurements have been provided under trust by each sub-charter company. These measurements have been assessed by our independent Race Officer to determine the TCFs. If any skipper wishes to challenge the TCFs, they are able to put their case forward to the Race officer for consideration prior to the commencement of racing. 27
Sails Engineering Challenge Cup 05 th to 12 th of May 2012 Skippers should be aware that competitors may use only the mainsail and foresail supplied with the boat. Use of spinnakers or other such sails is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use any kind of pole to hold out the foresail; this includes boathooks and the like. In addition to the use of sheets sails may be held out directly by crew members, but not at the risk of falling overboard. Anchors It is recommended that anchors are stowed in the anchor locker or somewhere else inboard of the boat from before the start until after the finish of each ECC sailing leg. Obstructions Obstructions or areas designated as ‘obstructions’ may be announced either during skippers’ briefings, or as deemed necessary on the course by the Race Committee. It remains the skipper’s responsibility to be mindful of normal navigation precautions and nothing in any announcement designating obstructions can be taken to imply reduced responsibility of a boat to keep safe. Protests The tradition of the ECC is that protests are generally avoided. They should only be made in the case of a serious infringement that results in a real disadvantage to the protesting yacht. Any protest should be made in an amicable spirit and the yacht subject to protest should not contest it unreasonably. A skipper intending to lodge a protest must do so as soon as practicable after the incident by calling the Race Officer on VHF. He will try to resolve the issue immediately and if appropriate will apply a penalty to the offending yacht, usually by requiring it to make a 360˚ turn. A yacht undertaking such a penalty must ensure it does not interfere with other yachts in the race while doing so. If necessary the Race Officer will form a protest committee to make a decision using the applicable ISAF rules. Decisions of the protest committee will be final. 28
