Rules The races will be governed by the rules defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS). This event is classified as a Category "A" event in accordance with ISAF Regulation 20. The Sailing Instructions will take precedence in case of conflict. This changes RRS 63.7.
Entries and
Eligibility		 This regatta is open to all sailors of MC scows. This is an MCSA sanctioned event. Each skipper must be a current member of MCSA and meet trophy age requirements before the first scheduled race. Non-MCSA members will be scored DNC for all races. All yachts must comply with the MC class scantlings prior to the preparatory signal of the first scheduled race. A boat may sail with a different sail number from its hull number if it registers with that sail number, and must compete with that number for the entire event. (Pay your dues via credit card now)
