NOTICE The event information below, used in conjunction with the General One Design Notice of Race, comprises the complete NOTICE OF RACE for the event

DESCRIPTION This is the first of the four race-day One Design Fall Series. The series is intended for One Design racing generally short, 30 minute, windward/leeward races held in the Fishing Bay general vicinity. Races may be shortened in either duration or number at the Race Officers discretion. Ability grouped fleets (A and B fleets) will be in effect during this race and series for classes that elect this option.

REGISTRATION Advance registration is encouraged at www.fbyc.net, the link on the event page under documents or directly on Regatta Network.

CLASSES Flying Scot and any class of any three like or unlike one-design boats is also invited to race. The Portsmouth Number (D-PN) handicapping system will be used to score classes of unlike boats. If there are fewer than three Portsmouth class boats they may participate in a parent class fleet (eg. Flying Scot) and race against them under the Portsmouth system. They will receive a Portsmouth score for this race day but will not be counted towards series scoring. The parent class will still maintain their own separate class scoring.

SKIPPERS' MEETING Will be held at 1030, started by the PRO and continued by the Fleet Captains with any desired fleet discussion, questions, tips, etc.
