Emergencies Sailing, and boating in general, as with any sport, carries with it
inherent risks. Recognizing this, every club member and guest should place safety at
the forefront of their judgment, whether on the water or not.
Emergencies on the Water – Don’t Panic
If you are involved in an on the water emergency during a Club race,
Contact the Race Committee on VHF 9 or 16.
• State your boat's name, your location, the nature of your emergency.
• Use your safety equipment i.e. put on your Personal Flotation Devices (PFD's).
If you require medical assistance
• Stabilize the victim.
• Notify the Race Committee and they will contact Emergency Services on your behalf.
• If you are unable to hail or contact the Race Committee, contact Metropolitan
Toronto Police Marine Unit on VHF 16 or on VHF 12 or dial 911 or dial *MTP. If you
are outside the Toronto Harbour area, contact the Coast Guard on VHF 16 or dial *16.
• If you are meeting an Emergency Vehicle at the club contact the Club on VHF 68 for
their assistance and instructions where to tie up (normally near the white crane).
• At the dock, provide the emergency staff with a brief summary of the incident and ID
for the patient.
Important contact numbers are listed on the Table of Contents page.
How to Rescue a Man Overboard
Crew co-operation and never losing sight of the person overboard are key elements
Basic steps:
1 Yell “Man Overboard” as loudly as you can and point to the person in the water.
Select one crewmember to keep the swimmer in sight at all times and to point at them
as the boat turns around for retrieval.
2 Throw the swimmer a life preserver. Don’t throw just one – throw three, four, or
five flotation devices (life jackets, cockpit cushions, fenders). Create litter that might
remain visible when the swimmer isn’t. he debris can create a trail leading back to the
person in the water.
3 Turn the boat as soon as possible without losing a bearing on the person
overboard. The tried and true method is to note your compass course and to turn 180
degrees from your original heading. The modern method is to hit the MOB button on
your GPS unit as soon as somebody yells “Man Overboard.” The MOB function records
the position where the person fell overboard and will provide a return course to that
position.
4 Radio for help if the swimmer disappears from view. Don’t panic, but don’t
hesitate to radio “PAN-PAN” or even “MAYDAY” if the victim cannot be found.
5 Falling overboard at night is extremely prejudicial to one’s health, but the victim
can be saved if proper precautions are taken. Ensure that crew are wearing flotation
Emergencies
gear with whistles and strobe lights attached. Everybody on deck should be securely
attached to the boat with tie-on or clip-on harnesses. A man overboard pole with attached
life buoy and strobe light and drogue chute should be ready for instant deployment.
6 Approach the swimmer so that he or she is upwind of the boat. You may have to
lower your sails and start your engine. Beware of loose sheets fouling the propeller.
Position the boat facing into the wind to provide better steering control.
7 Tie a rope in a loop and fasten it to a secure railing, or have a crewmember hold
onto one end if there isn’t time. Throw the rope to the swimmer and ask them to
position it under their armpits. Another procedure is to deploy a floating retrieval
line; it is a requirement to have 100 feet of polypropylene (floating) line with one end
attached to a drogue chute and the other end permanently attached to the stern of the
boat so the line will reach the victim as the boat circles them.
8 Pull the swimmer into the boat, which is more difficult than it sounds. The person
being rescued might be unable to assist because of exhaustion, injury, or hypothermia
and can seem amazingly heavy. If your boat is small, pull the person in over the stern
to minimize the risk of capsizing. Consider winching the person aboard if this is
practical.
9 Remember to turn off your engine or switch to neutral when the boat is near
somebody in the water.
10 Don’t send a rescuer into the water except as a last resort when all else has failed.
Don’t let a rescuer into the water unless they are attached to a lifeline and wearing a
life jacket.
11 Ensure that your boat has all required equipment as listed in the Coast Guard
booklet Safe Boating Guide. Get a copy if you don’t have one, and read it.

Welcome to the 2010 racing season
Bob Magtanong VC Fleet / Stephen Jones Race Ctte. Chair
The Sailing Instructions found in the following pages have undergone significant
revisions for 2010. We have simplified or clarified some of the language, and
streamlined the sections, to make the Sailing Instructions easier to understand. Please
take some time to read over the Sailing Instructions and become familiar with them.
Did you know that the Race Committee at the club runs 46 midweek race nights in
the Spring and Summer series? With three more midweek races in the Fall series,
plus three weekend races, there are over fifty opportunities for you to race your boat
in friendly club competition. On Mondays, take your boat out doublehanded, put
together a women’s crew, or train up one of your crew to helm in a race situation.
On Tuesdays, compete in one of the whitesail divisions, or sail with a spinnaker on
Wednesdays. The weekend races appeal to racers and cruisers alike by offering an
alternative to short-course races around the cans. With so many opportunities, every
sailboat owner at the National could participate in at least one race this year.
What is returning this season?
The 2010 Fun Race Cruise Series will once again be comprised of the Spring Round the
Island, The Frigidaire and the Fall Round the Island races. All three will have a division
for your sailing style, whether it be one-design, white-sail, spinnaker or just cruising.
There will be an overall score for the series with your best two races of the series
counting. The three weekend races are in the Sailing Instructions found in this Events
Book. See sections 2.6, 6.2, 7.2 and 17.2 for instructions specific to the weekend races,
but otherwise please familiarize yourself with all sections of the Sailing Instructions.
The hexagon of NYC marks will be making a comeback. The Race Ctte. is investing in
permanent racing marks, with the aim of reinstating the map on page 20-21 of this
Events Book. However, there are constraints of budget and time, so the full diagram
may not be completed for the full racing season. The priority will be on those NYC
marks that give the Race Ctte. some usable NYC and government mark combinations.
The Race Committee is always looking for volunteers to help make the events we run
that have competitors visiting from other clubs ones that the National can be proud of.
What is new this season?
Match racing at the club is planned for Thursdays from May 20 to Sept 30 and on some
Sundays. If you want to develop your skills in racing format that used in the America’s
Cup and has been added as a women’s discipline to the 2012 Olympic Games, feel free
to contact Chris Clarke cclarkemdi@gmail.com
Best wishes for a successful 2010 season!

About our trophies
Most NYC trophies have a long
and revered history.
Did you know... yacht clubs in
the early days ( 1890’s to 1930s)
awarded a trophy to a yacht
owner as a keeper trophy once a
yacht had won the trophy three
times. A new trophy would then
be competed for. 1930’s Deeds
of Gifts started to change this
practise as trophies became
more expensive.
Oldest trophy still held by the
Club - Whinton Shield - 1903.
Donated by Captain Art Whinton
and family for cruising races.
Still awarded annually for that
purpose today. The Whinton’s
were founding members of NYC.
In the early 1930’s to bridge
internal rifts between sailors and
power boaters, several trophies
were commissioned by sailors
for power boat events and vice
versa. Examples:
• Loren Ardiel trophy - 1930
for Class A 14’ dinghies. Ardiel
was Chair of the NYC Power
Boat Section and President, Cdn
Powerboat Association. The
Ardiels held world power boat
speed records.

Racing Area
7 Racing Area
The racing area for midweek racing will be in Humber Bay as shown in Figure 1 on
page 20-21. The racing area for weekend racing will be in Lake Ontario, including
Humber Bay and Toronto Harbour.
7.1 Obstructions
Boats shall not enter the areas at the ends of the runways of Toronto Island airport
as defined by the white buoys. The boundary defined by these buoys shall rank as an
obstruction. Commercial traffic shall be considered an obstruction.
7.2 Courses
Courses will be set in one of two manners: by referring to marks by their designated
codes listed in 8, below; or by specifying a bearing and range to the first mark of
one of four course diagrams (Figs. T, U, V or W). Course diagrams show the courses,
including the approximate angles between legs and the order in which marks are to
be passed.
7.2.1 Marks in midweek racing shall left to port. Marks in the Spring and Fall Round
the Island races shall be left to starboard if starting in Toronto Harbour, and left
to port otherwise. Other club weekend races may have Sailing Instructions issued
separately.
7.2.2 Courses by Designated Marks
Code letters from the list in 8 below will be posted on the Committee Boat prior to
the warning signal. The course will be from the starting line, rounding, or passing
the marks in the order posted. The Race Committee may also post “X” followed by a
numeral, indicating the number of times the sequence of designated marks is to be
rounded.
An example of a fixed mark course displayed on the committee boat stationed at
Dufferin.
31DX2
This would indicate start to NYC 3, NYC 1, Dufferin, twice around the course, with a
finish at Dufferin.
NOTE: Any leg of a course which includes the ‘7’ mark (T1), requires that the “G”
mark shall be passed to seaward.
13
Courses
7.2.3 Courses by Course Diagram
The Race Committee will post the magnetic compass
bearing to the first mark, followed by the distance from
the starting line in nautical miles and tenths.
An example of a bearing and range displayed on the
committee boat:
180 0.8
This would indicate a course of 180 degrees to the first
mark, eight tenths of a mile in distance.
Figure T
The Race Committee may also post “X” followed by a
numeral, indicating the number of times around the
course is to be sailed.
The Race Committee will also display one of four code
flags, to indicate which of the four course diagrams is in
effect.
7.2.3.1 Code Flag T
When the Race Committee displays code flag “T” the
course will be a triangle with a finish at the end of the
third leg of the triangle. See Figure T.
7.2.3.2 Code Flag U
Figure U
14
When the Race Committee displays code flag “U” the
course will be a triangle with a weather mark upwind
of the start-finish line, a leeward mark downwind of
the start-finish line, and a gybe mark. See Figure U. For
greater clarity: in a race where the Race Committee
has indicated that the course is to be sailed two times
around, competitors shall sail a course consisting of:
Start - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - Finish. Note: after starting the
start line is neither a mark nor an obstruction.
Courses
7.2.3.3 Code Flag V
When the Race Committee displays code flag “V”
the course will be a windward-leeward course with
a weather mark upwind of the start-finish line, a
leeward mark downwind of the start-finish line. See
Figure V. For greater clarity: in a race where the
Race Committee has indicated that the course is to
be sailed two times around, competitors shall sail a
course consisting of: Start - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - Finish. Note:
after starting the start line is is neither a mark nor an
obstruction.
7.2.3.3 Code Flag W
When the Race Committee displays code flag “W”
the course will be a windward-leeward course with a
windward mark and an offset mark, a single leeward
mark to windward of the start-finish line, and a
downwind finish. See Figure W. For greater clarity:
in a race where the Race Committee has indicated
that the course is to be sailed two times around,
competitors shall sail a course consisting of: Start - 1
- 1a - 2 - 1 - 1a - Finish. Note: mark 2 is not a mark
of the course for boats beating to 1 for the first time,
nor is it a mark of the course for boats on a run to
finish.

9. Change of Course after the Start
At any mark the race committee may signal a change in a subsequent leg or legs of
the course by displaying code flag “C” with repeated sound signals.
9.1 Courses by Designated Marks
The subsequent mark or marks of the course will be displayed from a Race Committee
vessel. This replaces RRS 33. In the case of a change to mark “K” the bearing to the
new mark will be displayed as
Example: K 275 G
And will indicate a change, the next mark to be an yellow pyramid inflatable mark, at a
bearing of 275 degrees followed by a finish at Gibraltar.
9.2 Courses by Course Diagram
Changes will be signalled according to RRS 33 (a) (1).
10. The Start
10.1 Races will be started according to RRS 26. For purposes of warning signals in
the starting sequence the class flag will be the division number pennant. The warning
signal for each succeeding class will be made with or after the starting signal of the
preceding class.
10.2 The starting line will be between the mast of the committee boat flying an
orange flag, and the adjacent mark.
10.3 Boats shall check in with the Race Committee by sailing, on starboard tack
if possible, past the stern of the Committee boat before the first warning signal.
NOTE: The Race Committee may fly code flag ‘Y’ (lifejackets must be worn). Any boat
with crew not wearing lifejackets when instructed will be subject to protest. This
instruction does not relieve the skipper of the duty to ensure the safety of the crew.
10.4 Boats whose preparatory signal has not been made shall keep clear of the
starting area and of all boats whose preparatory signal has been made.
11. Recalls
11.1 The Race Committee may attempt to hail each premature starter. Failure of a
premature starter to hear her hail will not be grounds for redress.
17
The Finish
Time Limit
Protests
11.2 General recalls will be signalled in accordance with Rule 29.3; but the division
recalled will restart in sequence after all scheduled succeeding divisions, i.e. The
warning signal of the first recalled division will come after, or simultaneously with,
the start of the last scheduled division. In the event that the last division to start is
recalled, a new warning signal will be made subsequently. This modifies RRS 29.2.
12. The Finish
12.1 For courses by designated marks, the finish line will be between the blue flag on
a Committee boat and the last designated mark.
12.2 For courses by course diagram, the finish line will be between the blue flag on a
Committee boat and the adjacent mark, as illustrated in the course diagrams.
13 Time Limit
The time limit of midweek course races is 2 ½ hours from the start of the first division
for all races, except for the last three races of the summer series, the crew races, and

Office.
14.2 A completed protest form shall be filed with the Race Committee at the Sailing

Protests
Taking a Penalty
14.3 For midweek races, within 30 minutes of the end of the period for protests in
12.1 (b), the Race Committee will post a list of boats protesting and protested. For
weekend races, the notice will be posted by 1000 hrs the following day. The posted
notice will serve as the official notification of the parties as required by RRS 63.2. and
RSS 61.1(b).
14.4 An arbitration hearing may be held for midweek races on the evening of the race
if there is an alleged infringement of a rule of Part 2 of the Racing Rules of Sailing
or of RRS 28 or 31. This modifies Rule 63.1. Please note: arbitration hearings for
Monday night races will be held on the Tuesday following the race. An arbitration
hearing of about 15 minutes will be conducted immediately after protests are posted
in the following manner: The parties to the hearing will meet with one member of the
Protest Committee (the Arbitrator). The protestor will present the basis for the protest,
including the rules(s) considered infringed. The party protested may respond, citing
any other rules believed applicable. The parties shall address their remarks only to the
Abitrator. The Abitrator may:
(i) decide that the matter will go to a full protest hearing;
(ii) recommend that one party accept a 40% penalty, as defined in RSS 44.3(c);
(iii) recommend that the protest be withdrawn.
If the Arbitrator’s recommendation is not accepted, the matter shall go to a full
hearing. Acceptance of the recommendation of the arbitrator shall be final, and not
grounds for appeal or redress.
14.5 Protests regarding club midweek and weekend races will be heard on the
following evenings: May 27; June 24; July 29; August 26; and October 4, 2010.
14.6 Observers are welcome to attend protest hearings.
15. Taking a Penalty
RRS 44.1 is modified as follows: If the infringing boat has a spinnaker set and drawing
at the time of the infringement, she may drop it so the head is below the boom while
taking her penalty and reset it after taking her penalty. The penalty is then one full
turn including one tack and one gybe instead of two.

Sailpast
The annual Sailpast and the Review of the Fleet by
Commodore Henry Piersig will take place on
Saturday May 29th
1300 Skippers’ Meeting
1330 Boat Blessing
1500 Review of the Fleet
1700 Reception
The Review Ship this year will be the Past
Commodore’s vessel Dream Catcher. On board
to take the salute will be the Commodore, Vice
Commodores, and Immediate Past Commodore.
The Vice Commodore Fleet will lead the fleet past
the Review Ship and will be followed by the Past
Commodores, then the Fleet Captains and the fleet. A
diagram showing the marshalling area and sequence
to follow past the Review Ship as well as a list of Group
Leaders will be distributed at the Skippers’ Meeting.
The fleet will assemble in the Marshalling Area upwind
of the Review Ship. When you have sighted your
Group Leader in the Marshalling Area, fall in behind in
as orderly a fashion as possible, and follow your Group
Leader past the stern of the Review Ship maintaining
an interval of approximately two boat lengths and
salute in the following manner:
Vessels wearing an ensign, dip it; and
Vessels not wearing an ensign, luff foresail.
The salute should commence one boat length before
reaching the Review Ship and continue for one boat
length beyond. Where possible, the skipper and crew
should stand and face the Review Ship. Only the
Commodore salutes by hand.
After the Review of the Fleet, put your boat back on
its mooring, dress ship and return to the clubhouse
to meet your Commodore and Flag Officers in the
receiving line (White/Blue Dress, please).
In the event of foul weather, upon instructions from
the Vice Commodore Fleet, the fleet shall remain on
the moorings and the Review Ship will pass through
the moorings.

Cranes
THE POLECAT BLUE CRANE THE WHITE CRANE
The polecat will be used as the primary mast crane.
remains available for the launching and hauling of boats.
(the Barber Hauler) is now first and foremost the Drysail launching crane.
***This means the launching and hauling of Drysail boats ALWAYS takes priority over use of the high boom side.
WHITE CRANE CAPACITIES
HIGH BOOM 1,000lbs,
LOW BOOM 4,000lbs
The west drysail area is full to capacity; this means a lot of boats all needing to use the white
crane. Peak hours are 5-6pm on club race nights and 8-10am on weekend race days.
Drysail etiquette
Particularly during club race nights or weekend race events the Drysail crane will have a lineup.
Quick and efficient boat launches will be appreciated by all. This also includes clearing the crane
area of both your boat and trailer after launching. To aid in this process; be ready when it is your
turn, detach backstays, have fenders and dock lines attached, have lifting slings prepped.
If you are waiting for the crane, lend a hand to the boat in front, with their launching.
Boat washing, windex adjusting or halyard retrieval are all to be done during non-peak times.
The only boats to be launched off the high boom are the 2.4m.
The black dock has a limited amount of room. It is also the only dock that you can be upwind to
sail off of; therefore boats should be tied bow-to only. Any side-to docking is to be done on the
wall.
BLUE CRANE CAPACITY 8,000lbs at 45 degrees or higher
The Blue crane is a boat-launching crane and is not to be used for masts.
The area under the blue crane must be kept clear of boats when it is not in use, as its secondary
function is for emergency hauling.
When launching boats using the blue crane do not lower the boom (jibe) past 45 degrees.
POLECAT Crane
The Polecat mobile crane will be available in the spring for erecting masts. At this busy time,
there will a sheet with dates and times available for sign-up.
Throughout the season, the crane will be available by contacting the office.
This crane is to be operated by NYC certified crane operators only. There must be both an
operator and spotter at all times.
The polecat’s primary function is masts, but it has proved most versatile having been used
for boat launching, motor removing, and dock removal. As a club tool, other uses for it can be
discussed as required. Requests can be submitted to the office.

More on Cranes
General Rule - SAFETY FIRST !
General Rules
Safety first. Make sure you are looking around at what you
are doing. Never walk under the load. Use common sense
- if it looks wrong it probably is.
Never leave your boat unattended under any crane.
Every club member has access to the cranes, with the
caveat that if you are unsure of the use of the crane make
sure to ask someone who knows.
The white and blue crane are available during non-peak
times for any maintenance or cleaning of any boat within
the crane’s limits.
Keys for the cranes will be available at the OOD station, to
be signed out and promptly returned.
If at any time you notice something is not working
properly, it appears worn, or in a state of disrepair, please
make sure to report it to the office.
Finally crane courtesy goes a long way. We are all
members of the same club and are here to help one
another. KMS
