Race time limit

[Chris J]

Hi All does anybody know where it states the time limit for a race, i have checked HMS, and standard SI. 

Also when can a race be abandoned ie wind drops

Hi,

The answer is not as simple as it may appear and depends on what the event is, and what the Notice of Race states.

1. MYA ranking/Nationals and most district events will note that the event is governed by RRS, MYA SSI’s and HMS along with class rules etc. in this case the MYA SSI’s give the answer which is no time limit except the last race of the day if it runs into the last race timings. They also state that the only abandonment is due to thunderstorms-although in reality this includes dangerous weather conditions.

2. Club racing/Open events can have their own NoR and SI’s, which can have a time limit and shortened courses/ abandonment written as something different.

so, I suppose the question is, why do you want to know and do you want to include them in your race events?

It’s club racing, I was just asking to see if there was a standard time.

thanks for your reply
