Points Series Races

The points season will start with a Spring Points Series Thursday 6th May to Sunday 27th June and finish with an Autumn Points Series from Sunday 3rd October to Sunday 24th October.

The Spring Points Series, on Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings, will consist of 15 races.

The Sunday and Thursday Summer Points Series Races will be held on Sunday Mornings and Thursday Evenings from Thursday 1st July to Thursday 23rd September for the following classes except where interrupted by POFSA events and Village Regattas:

For the above series the large and small Working Boats will race together.

*Fast Handicap Dinghies include PY 1101 and below (e.g. Laser Radials and faster dinghies).
**Slow Handicap Dinghies include PY 1102 and above (e.g. Toppers, Picos, Optimists).

The Race Officer will aim to finish the Sunday Morning races by 12:30 and the Thursday evening races by 19:45.

The Low Point Scoring System in Appendix A of the Racing Rules will be used. In all the points series the number of races to count will be half of the actual number of races sailed (rounded down if necessary) plus one. The boat with the lowest series score wins, and others are ranked accordingly. When racing sailors carry out Race Officer or Safety Boat duties they will be awarded the average of the points they score in the rest of the series.
