RKYC Member’s Day Sail Past P rotocol

\n

The Procedure:

\n

The Sail Past takes place by sailing along the outside of the main wharf. Sailboats are to
\nbe sailed under main and jib alone. Auxiliary power may be used\, where available to
\nmaintain position and safety. In the even t of calm winds\, smaller boats and dinghies
\nmay be towed.

\n

The Reviewing Point is the middle of the main wharf.  The dispersal point for all boats
\nparticipating in the Sail Past will be a reasonable d istance beyond the Reviewing Point
\nas determined by wind conditions .

\n

Yachts are to proceed to the designated marshaling area and take station under
\nthe direction of the Fleet Captain. The Commodore wi ll lead the fleet\, followed by the
\nFlag Officers and the Past Comm odores followed by the Junior Sailing. The rest of the
\nfleet should generally have the large sailboats leading\, power boats to tail. The Fle et
\nCaptain should be last. Departure from the marshaling area will be the western or
\neastern passage\, as determined by wind direction s.

\n

Yachts should be sailed from the marshaling area to the Reviewi ng Point\, line-astern\,
\nat 30-yard intervals. On approaching the R eviewing Point\, yachts salute from two
\nboat lengths before the Rev iewing Point to two boat lengths after.
\nFor the Review itself\, lea d yachts are to maintain a speed that allows following
\nboats to kee p in station. In favorable winds\, sails should be set up so as not to exc eed
\nfour knots of speed.

\n

An appropriate Salute consists of “dipping” the ensign\, with the Skipper and crew
\nfacing starboard w ith head gear doffed. Boats without ensigns will salute by luffing the
\njib. The salute will be taken by the Honorary Commodore in company wit h a number of
\nPast Commodores of the Club.

\n

Boat dress for t he occasion is appropriate sized ensigns and burgees. The first
\nboa t will cross the Reviewing line at 1930 hrs.

\n

The guard frequency f or the Sail Past is channel 68 VHF. Those with VHF sets
\nwill relay information to those without. In the event of an emergency\, a warning wil l be
\nbroadcast to all vessels.

\n

For safety\, the accepted ru les of the road are to be observed.
