All Club-owned Sonars are being scored solely by sail number this season.  As a reminder, spin is the default fleet for the Sonars.  If you wish to race a Sonar in the non-spin fleet, in order to avoid being scored with the spin fleet, prior to racing you must notify race committee of that determination and provide your sail number.

Thinking of racing in the spin fleet this season with a symmetrical spinnaker and conventional pole?  The top overall symmetrical spin will receive a separate season award.

An error was noted on the Course Sheet with regard to the infrequently-used Course M.  When shortened, the course distance is 1.7 nm, not 2.0 nm.  This correction affects only the scoring, and not the course itself.

The Oxford Amateur Racing Series was founded on the concept of fun and is open to all skippers sailing a mono-hull with a minimum overall length of 18 feet.

The fleets are scored in two divisions: spinnaker and non-spinnaker, with the non-spinnaker division separated into A and B sub-fleets.  Details are set forth in the NOR.  Races are held off the Tred Avon Yacht Club on Friday evenings, with a start time of 6:00 PM, earlier as the days get shorter in September -- see Race Instructions. There is no format for filing protests in the OARS competition. Participants are expected to know the racing rules and abide by them.

Registration, a PHRF rating, and sail #'s are required for participation.  If you do not have a PHRF rating, the OARS Committee will assign one.  Annual dues are $85 per boat.

The racing season is celebrated after the last Friday of the season, with an annual awards dinner in which "Great Oars" are presented to the winners of each division.
