Race Bulletin No. 11

May 13, 2016

By Rush Hambleton


Dear Sailors,

The Entry Fee of $1,250 plus $70 per person aboard is due Monday.

Here's a list of boats that need to go to the entry system and make payment arrangements by the deadline. Fees appear under My Account > Overview.

Captains, no matter their practical experience, are not exempt from the training requirements. This is true for any race sailed under US Sailing's SER (ocean) or World Sailing's OSR (Cat 1). Here's a list of Captains that have not provided proof of safety training. The CCA will host a seminar on June 15 in Newport.

All competitors must have a valid Sailor ID. We have posted preliminary Crew Lists on the Official Notice Board indicating sailors who need to address their Classification status now. We encourage all sailors to check their status. The Crew Deadline is 1700 on June 3.

As always, please do not hesitate to email [email protected] or one of us listed at the bottom of this bulletin if you have any questions or issues completing the entry process on time.

The tasks traditionally associated with entering this race, although a burden for some, help make this race both safe and fair. Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,
A. J. Evans

Chairman
Bermuda Race Organizing Committee
