Event Description:
OFFSHORE YACHT RACING IN COTTESLOE
- We are running a promotion with Barchetta beachfront cafe in Cottesloe to promote the sailing.
- The course will take the fleet up the coast from Leighton Beach to Cottesloe Beach prior to heading south to Rockingham.
IRC YOUTH CUP SERIES
- IRC rated yachts with a minimum of one person under the age of 25 as part of the crew will qualify for the IRC Youth Cup Series.
- A separate set of results will be calculated for this event.
- All three races of the Rockingham Race Regatta to count.
- Scoring for the series will be a time factor adjustment to the corrected time on IRC. A youth bonus multiplier will be used to calculate the youth corrected time. There will be a time factor adjustment for each youth person in the crew, to a maximum of three.
The Bill Schulstad Memorial Trophies
These trophies will be awarded to the boats in ORWA Divisions 1 and 2 with the best aggregate IRC corrected time for the Rockingham Race Weekend.
Bill Schulstad was a long serving member of The Cruising Yacht Club of WA and instrumental in the famous Cockburn Sound regattas that dominated the offshore sailing season for many years. Bill was also deeply involved in the administration of yachting through YWA and was a life member of that organisation.
Race History
Dolphin Race and Gordon Craig Ocean Race
The first race for the Gordon Craig took place in 1949 and the Dolphin Race in 1953. Over the last 60 years these races have been made up of a number of different course formats from windward/leeward racing to short & long passage races. However in the last few years the course has taken yachts from Fremantle to Rockingham for an overnight stay at TCYC and then Rockingham back to Fremantle on the Sunday.
