Light wind/low speed race: 58– 65 km/h score * 1,50-
Medium speed race: 65 – 70 km/hscore * 1,00
High speed race: 70 – 75 km/hscore * 0,75
Ultimate speed race: 75>km/h score * 0,50
(the ‘-‘sign meens till (in Dutch: TOT))
Remarks
-The focus will be on theMedium speed races and faster. If the wind-/speedconditions are not as good asforecasted and the speed is below the Medium threshold the race will count as aLigt wind/low speed race.
-A call for a special Lightwind /low speed race will only be done with good forecasted base conditions.
-A day will count if at leastone rider has reached an avg speed of minimum 58 km/h, but there is a maximum of2 light wind days.
-After 3 races one discard isallowed, after 5 races there are 2 discards. Every race day will count for theranking and the result * the factor will be used for calculating the discards.
-The overall ranking will bebased on all races and will take into account the discards. There will be extraprizes for the light wind class and the medium-ultimate class (with factor). Ifaccidentally we have 3 or more light wind days,
then these will count for thelight wind ranking. Discard systems for light or medium-ultimate class areidentical as for the overall ranking.
-The prize giving will beplanned at one of the last possible racing days.
More/other info will be communicated via the Sailing Instructions and willbe published at the notice board.
