Race Bulletin No. 12

May 19, 2016

By Rush Hambleton


Dear Sailors,

The Measurement Deadline is one week away -- Thursday, May 26.

ALL yachts are required to submit an application, revalidation, or amendment of their ORR (or ISYR certificate for those few yachts) by the Measurement Deadline (1700, May 26, 2016).

Yachts that received an extension of the deadline must submit an application for a trial certificate by the Measurement Deadline. See Race Bulletin No. 10 for more information.

One of the primary reasons for this deadline, like most others, is to help keep the race fair. As competitors, we appreciate each other's efforts to meet the deadlines.

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.

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing you in Newport.

Kind regards,
A. J. Evans
Chairman
Bermuda Race Organizing Committee
