The New York Yacht Club has posted the Sailing Instructions for its 2012 US Qualifying Series, which will take place September 4-8 at NYYC's Harbour Court in Newport, Rhode Island. They provide an detailed and interesting perspective on the management of a multi-fleet (Sonars and J70s) regatta in an amateur Corinthian setting. If you wish to follow the participation of the FBYC Team of Blake Kimbrough, John Wake and Matt Braun in the event, you may want to review these instructions to understand the format of the event, which provides for fleet rotation, random boat assignment, on the water Umpires and Jury, a Preliminary Series on the first two days, and a Championship and Consolidation Series on the last two days. While it is not final, it appears that the event may provide live on-line Kattack type "tracking" of the races, as it did last year, so you can follow the racing as it unfolds or catch up at your leisure.
