Sailboats are to<br /> be sailed under main and jib alone. Auxiliary power may be used, where available to<br /> maintain position and safety. In the event of calm winds, smaller boats and dinghies<br /> may be towed.</p> <p>The Reviewing Point is the middle of the main wharf.  The dispersal point for all boats<br /> participating in the Sail Past will be a reasonable distance beyond the Reviewing Point<br /> as determined by wind conditions.</p> <p>Yachts are to proceed to the designated marshaling area and take station under<br /> the direction of the Fleet Captain. The Commodore will lead the fleet, followed by the<br /> Flag Officers and the Past Commodores followed by the Junior Sailing. The rest of the<br /> fleet should generally have the large sailboats leading, power boats to tail. The Fleet<br /> Captain should be last. Departure from the marshaling area will be the western or<br /> eastern passage, as determined by wind directions.</p> <p>Yachts should be sailed from the marshaling area to the Reviewing Point, line-astern,<br /> at 30-yard intervals. On approaching the Reviewing Point, yachts salute from two<br /> boat lengths before the Reviewing Point to two boat lengths after.<br /> For the Review itself, lead yachts are to maintain a speed that allows following<br /> boats to keep in station. In favorable winds, sails should be set up so as not to exceed<br /> four knots of speed.</p> <p>An appropriate Salute consists of “dipping” the ensign</p>America/Halifax2025-06-06T17:00:00America/Halifax2025-06-06T23:45:00en-US0https://rkyc.ca/event/members-day-2/free
