Depends on fleet size and wind, but typically Regattas consist of twelve heats. The AMYA Two-minute starting sequence will be used for all heats. Five-minute “hold” periods will be allowed between heats for resolution of mechanical problems, however, an individual skipper may only call one hold per day. The total number of heats may be less than twelve due to wind and weather conditions, as determined by the Race Director. Last boat may be placed at the Race Director’s discretion. See specific NOR for each regatta for official rules. |

Format: |
|
For scoring, depending on the number of heats sailed, the two worst finishes for each skipper will be discarded, and the final score will be based on the remaining finishes. Points awarded are equal to the actual finish placement. At the end of the regatta, the skipper with the lowest aggregate score is the winner. See NOR for specific regatta for scoring details. DNF points are equal to the size of the fleet plus one.

Generally, Chevrons will be awarded to the top three finishers as per AMYA rules. Regatta place trophies will be awarded to First through Fourth Place finishers. “Skipper” participation trophies will be awarded to places Fifth through Tenth. Club regattas may have different award structures. |
