Proposed F16 Class Championship Rules
H.10. TIME AND WIND LIMITS
a. A race shall be abandoned if no boat has finished within 1.5 hours. Boats failing to finish within 30 minutes after the first boat shall be deemed not to have finished and shall be scored as DNF.
b. Races may be abandoned if the Race Officer determines that fair sailing has been compromised and shall be abandoned if security and safety is no longer guaranteed.
c. No races shall be started or continued if the average wind (measured over the previous 15 minutes at any mark of the course) is less than 4 knots or more than 22 knots. The Race Committee shall also take into account weather forecasts, wind gusts and wave condition to ensure safe sailing conditions.
This extract is from the current version of the Draft F16 Championship Rules for use in major F16 Class Events. Pending the outcome of the ISAF November Meeting, this rule set and other sundry items will be placed before the membership for consideration, discussion and voting.
