General recalls or postponed starts: each subsequent class will start at 5 minute intervals after the recalled
Finish: All classes finish between orange flag on Race Committee signal boat and Region 3 Choptank Area Mark “N” (R“2” Fl R4s) off Tred Avon Yacht Club.
The Committee Finish Boat expects to be on-station on the West side of Lighted Mark R"2" to record finishes beginning at approximately 1200 hours, Saturday, September 13. The Committee Finish Boat will remain on-station until either 1730 hours, Saturday, September 13, or all entrants are confirmed as DNS, finished, or retired - whichever occurs first. If the Committee Boat is not on station, a boat shall take its finish time when it passes Lighted MarkR“2” within 100 yards and the mark bears 095 degrees magnetic. Boats recording their own finish time shall report their finish time to the RC as soon as practical after finishing by informing the Race Committee at 410-693-8394.
Time Limit: A boat finishing by 1730 makes the race valid for its class. Boats not finishing by 2000 will be scored TLE equal to the number of boats in the class finishing by 2000 plus 2 points; not to be worse than the number of boats entered in their class. This alters RRS 35, A4.1, A4.2, A5.
Protests: A protest shall be filed at the NASS Race Committee desk, located in the TAYC clubhouse, within one hour of the protesting boat's finish or 2100 hours, whichever is earlier. Protests hearings will start at 2000 hours, on Thursday, 18 September 2014, at the J-World Office, 213 Eastern Ave, Annapolis, MD.
