· The On-line entry system allows a single entry & payment process for event entry, with options for lunches, Saturday night dinner and event shirts.
·Entries are strictly limited - the event sold out very quickly in the last three years, so be sure to enter early.
· Early entries ($60) close on Thurs 5 Feb 2015, after which a late entry fee ($85) applies.
· Boats can be dropped at DBYC prior to the event - access times & details listed in Notice of Race.
2.Coaching levels – when entering please carefully consider the appropriate coaching level:
·Advanced is focused on racing, can handle tougher weather conditions
·Intermediate is for those starting to race and looking to improve general racing / sailors should be comfortable in most conditions
·Novice Blue is for those who can sail to windward comfortably & complete a course
·Novice Green is for sailors that can sail, but may not yet be able to complete a true windward course
All Novice sailors should have done some sailing previously - the event is not a beginners / introductory ‘learn to sail’ program.
3.Ozi-Opti training boats - may ONLY enter by invitation and numbers are very limited - if interested in being invited:
· Please contact Kate Harper on [email protected]or 0402 339 266 before entering
· To enter you will need to have been allocated a boat which has a name and a unique sail number (e.g. ‘DB1’, ‘BR6’ – not just ‘6’)
· If two people are sharing a single boat a separate entry is required for each child - but multiple people can be entered in a single entry process.
4.Power Boats - As in previous years the event can only run with the generous support of clubs, classes and parents. DBYC invites clubs, classes and parents to assist through the provision of a fully insured power boat(s). Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
If you, your club or class can assist, could you kindly register you and your boat’s details (type, length, engine size, whether it has a radio) by either:
· Completing the section in the entry process; or
· Emailing Peter Danks [email protected]. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
5.
