En annen kort innføring i hva som forventes av våre seilere
Sign up for the following tuesday race night by clicking the button below before 20:55. Please don't sign up unless you are sure that you will race. If you arrive late without signing up, you can still join the races if there is available space. Though if there are 24 boats in the race and it's fully booked on the entry list on the web, then you should join as spectator and wait until 2:30 on the countdown before you change from spectator to sailor. Otherwise you are blocking the slot for the skipper who signed up in time, who may arrive late.

Penalty cancellations
- Do only request a penalty cancellation if you are sure that the penalty you got was wrong.
- Approve all requests for penalty cancellations unless you are absolutely sure that a penalty was right.
Please note that a boat approving a penalty cancellation is not running any risk of post race sanctions, ref. the next section.
Protests
There are only 3 kinds of situations you can protest on at the nordic tuesday races:
- On a boat who got a correct penalty cancelled.
- On a boat who denied cancelling an incorrect penalty.
- On a boat who is breaking ISAF RRS Rule 2 (fair sailing).
To file the protest, upload the replay of the race at the VSK Nordic download area, and post your protest in the forum under "Seilaser". There is no need to hail protest on the water for the validity of the protest. The penalty for these violations is disqualification which cannot be discarded from the series of races (DNE). Boats with 2 disqualifications will be excluded from the remaining of the series.
Rule 2
So what is this one rule about that is so important? It regulates fair, honest and sportive sailing. Basically we can divide it in 3:
- You should not deliberately break a rule. Typically as windward boat at the startline or as port boat at the windward mark. Instead you have to accept now and then to be early over the startline, or to pass behind the entire fleet at the top mark. Screwing up others race is not an option!
- If you know you have broken a rule (or should have known...), then you should volunteerly take a penalty. Even if VSK does not give a penalty to you or not at all. For example when port hits starboard with the mast, which VSK ignores consistently. Remember that when there is contact between two boats, then at least one of them has broken a rule.
- Choose your words carefully in the heat of the action. Insults directed at a particular skipper is broadcasted to everybody in the race...
So if you have deliberately broken a rule, not volunteered to take a penalty when you clearly should have, or have abused the race chat, then you have broken rule 2.
