Racing Sign Off Changes - All Fleets
|
The Sailing Committee passed a motion that from the start of the new season(25/26) ALL boats are required to sign OFF after racing. Failure to do so will incur a scoring penalty. This will be added to the 25/26 season SI's. We are asking skippers to start doing this as of now to get use to it. We have also added a new sign off feature that will allow another parties to sign off boats if required.
