SAFETY AND HANDICAPS
There are two pieces of paperwork that you need to complete before you set sail in the PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic.
SAFETY
The Coastal is defined by Yachting NZ as a Category 3 event. This means you need to get a Cat 3 safety certificate issued by Yachting NZ. These require an insepction, cost $121 for club members and are valid for two years.
HANDICAPS
As the Coastal is a mixed fleet race, we use handicaps to calculate time based results. If you have a keelboat, you’ll need a PHRF handicap certificate from Yachting NZ, which costs $75 for a new application and is valid for a year. Multihulls can request a handicap from the NZMYC.
THE COURSE updated 27 Februrary
All boats start at the same time!
We have developed numerous course options, giving us the flexibility to account for tides and winds, ensuring the choice between a longer or shorter course is best suited to the conditions. Depending on these factors, the race may finish at North Head or in the inner harbour near Jellicoe/North Wharf.
Full details of the chosen course are here and in the Sailing Instructions
