2024 Heritage Regatta - Log Canoes

Offical Notice Board

August 22, 2024

Please note, for the safety of the sailors and canoes, as well as offering fair sailing from the Race committee, the OA has changed the WS definition of hull to the following, listed in the Heritage Sailing instructions, under Rules 1.3;

1.3. As used in the definition of “Zone” in the RRS, the word “hull” is replaced by “hull and equipment in normal position,” and includes boomkin, boards, bowsprit and jib club in sailing position as length of hull.

This also means the start/finish line will be judged by the same definition.   This is rule change is not available for protested, as it was unanimously agreed to by all the eligible canoe owners, and the four OAs that managed log canoe racing in 2023.  This rule has been applied to promote safety and fair sailing.
