Murray Rountree Trophy

 

If you enter for the Murray Rountree Trophy, this will be a normal regatta for you. The B-fleet will vary in size   a little, as some commodore’s challenge competitors will not be sailing in all races. This will not be a whole lot different from the typical regatta where some competitors have boat problems or other priorities that prevent them from sailing every race.

 

Commodore’s Challenge

 

For entrants to the Commodore’s Challenge, the big difference will be that you can choose by arriving at the start line how many races you compete in (minimum 7 races or a full day’s racing, whichever is less) and we will award average points for whichever races you do not enter by  arriving at the start line.

 

We want to encourage locals and others around the country, who don’t feel up to all the pressure of two days of solid racing, to have a regatta experience.

 

You can compete one day only; or every second race; or for a block of races followed by a rest; or if you love it, you might sail every race. It’s up to you.

 

We want new people ..’you’ .. at our regatta!

 

 

Please Note:

 

Ÿ  We do expect sailors, in both competitions, to know and observe the rules. It’s not great to spoil someone else’s regatta.

Ÿ  The last opportunity to choose between the full regatta and the Commodores Challenge is on submission of the regatta entry form.

 

 

A Regatta for All

 

This is the opportunity to experience Regatta Sailing with the option of managing the stress of sailing every race and still look forward to the possibility of a competitive result.
