NEDLANDS YACHT CLUB
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Policy
Enjoyment of the environment of the Swan River is fundamental to the existence of
Nedlands Yacht Club.
 Nedlands Yacht Club is committed to acting in an environmentally
responsible manner to improve the environment and prevent pollution
through:
 Requiring members, staff, contractors and guests to comply with all
applicable environmental laws, regulations and standards as well as
Nedlands Yacht Club’s contractual and voluntary commitments to the
community

and monitor environmental performance
 Communicating this policy to all members, staff, and other stakeholders
 Continually improving our performance through training, management
review and consultation with the community.
Environmental Management System
 NYC is developing an Environmental Management System (EMS) as a tool to
improve its environmental management over time. To develop the EMS, NYC
has considered what risks our activities pose to the environment and what
strategies we are going to commit to, to reduce these risks. The EMS will be
monitored and reviewed regularly to consider if the strategies have been
adhered to and if they are effective and what improvements can be made.
Risks and Objectives
 Hydrocarbon contamination from storage drums and containers
o No loss of hydrocarbons to the environment from storage drums and
containers
 Hydrocarbon contamination from spillage during refuelling
o No spillage of hydrocarbons during refuelling
 Pollution of the river from bilge water
o No pollutants discharged into the river via bilge water
 Pollution from storm water runoff
3
o Containment and treatment of all contaminated runoff from work
areas
 Pollution from boat maintenance and hull cleaning on the work area and
ramp
o Reduce movement of contaminants from work area/ramp
 Contamination due to cleaning of vessels in pens or on moorings
o Prevent contamination of river by cleaning agents
 Contamination of the environment from antifouling
o Reduce antifouling contamination
 Noise pollution causing a nuisance and/or endangering the health of
neighbours
o Reduce all noise pollution so that no health risk is posed and no
complaints are received
 Dust generation from vessel maintenance
o Reduce the release of harmful dust into the atmosphere to a level that
poses no health risk or nuisance to any person
 Contamination of the river from fertiliser, herbicides, pesticides, green wastes
and erosion
o Reduce opportunity for pollutants to run into the river from the grounds
and protect the river bank
 Contamination from stored hazardous and dangerous goods
o No loss or unacceptable exposure of people resulting from storage of
hazardous goods
 Effluent contamination from septic and associated pipe works
o No loss of effluent to the environment

equipment e.g. bowsers. Otherwise use sealed jerry cans with appropriate
funnelling and pouring devices to prevent spills
 Boats with inboards must be tied alongside the jetty for refuelling and be
fitted with inline fuel/air separator devices to prevent fuel escaping from air
vents
 Before refuelling care should be taken to gauge the amount of fuel needed
to fill the tank to prevent overflow
 Always use a funnel to refuel
 Have a club spill kit on hand when refuelling
 Report all spills to the club, spills greater than 10 litres have to be reported to
the authorities

other) being released into the river.
 Heavy cleaning involving engine work etc to preferably be carried out at
other venues or in the Rescue Boat shed on the bitumen paving
 Dust generating maintenance – members advised to wear protective
equipment (masks, goggles etc) and are required to use tools with dust
extraction

Start Lines
While a boat start is the preferred start type the OOD may elect to use a club start box
start. A decision on the start type shall be identified by the appropriate flag and shall not
be grounds for redress (see 8.3 and 8.4).
13.1 Club Start Box Line
13.1.1 The starting line will be between the red triangle on the front of the Club Start Box
and the outer club start/finish line buoy (striped).
13.1.2 The extremities of the Start Line are the Outer Buoy (striped) and the Inner Buoy
(green). The Inner Buoy may be only approximately on the start line.
13.1.3 When an extended Start Line is requested by a section, it will be identified by the
placing of a white coloured buoy (Extension Buoy) flying a NYC burgee and an
Orange Start Flag at the outer end of the line.
13.1.4 The Start Line will then be between the red triangle on the front of the Club Start
Box and the Extension Buoy.
13.2 Boat Start Line
13.2.1 The starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag or shape on the
Race Committee Boat at the starboard end and the port-end starting mark
13.2.2 The extremities of the Start Line are the port-end starting mark and the Race
Committee Boat. A Barging Buoy may be laid near the Race Committee Boat and
it is an extension of the Race Committee Boat, therefore, the barging buoy, the
Race Committee Boat and the space between them, all form the starboard end
starting mark.

The Start
In order that the Race Officials have an uninterrupted view of the start line, no
boat, other than Juniors, shall pass between the start box and the inner club
start/finish buoy when the line is in use. Penalty for failure to comply will be
disqualification without a hearing (changes rule 63.1).
Boats whose starting signal has not been made shall keep clear of the starting area
and of all boats whose starting signal has been made.
A boat shall not start later than 15 minutes after her starting signal.
No warning signal will be made after 15:30 hours

General Recalls
Recalled Sections go to the rear of the fleet in sequence and the preceding
fleet’s starting signal will be their Warning signal. This changes rule 29.2.
Where there is a General recall for Open Cat Section first race, the race will
be judged “Race Abandoned.”
Rule 29.2 of the RRS (General Recall) will apply if the restart is for the last
Section in the sequence or Open Cat second race.
Handicap Races
All boats shall start as one fleet on the same set of numbers. The start signal
for each boat shall be the lowering of its handicap number.
Handicap numbers will be black on white.
The orange “line in use” flag will be hoisted 5 minutes prior to the Warning
signal, accompanied by one sound, and will be lowered no sooner than 15
minutes after the last number has been lowered.
Five minutes before the start time of the limit boat the Warning signal will be
given by hoisting all Section Flags, accompanied by one sound.
Four minutes before the limit boat’s start the Preparatory Flag will be broken
out.
Three minutes before the limit boat’s number, the number which is two
greater than the limit boat’s handicap number will be displayed in front of
the Start Box.
Numbers will be lowered, one each minute, until the start of the scratch
boat. All signals will then be lowered.
A boat shall be penalised three minutes for every minute or part thereof by
which it prematurely starts.

The extremities of the Finish Line will be the Outer Buoy (striped) and the Inner
Buoy (green). The Inner Buoy may be only approximately on the finish line.
Having finished, no boat shall sail through the Club Finish Line. A boat
breaking this rule will have two minutes added to her finishing time.
In order that the Race Officials have an uninterrupted view of the finish line,
no boat, other than Juniors, shall pass between the start box and the inner
club start/finish buoy when the line is in use. Penalty for failure to comply will
be disqualification without a hearing (changes rule 63.1).
If the ‘Line in use’ flag has been lowered after the start then it will be
re-hoisted prior to the first boat finishing and stay hoisted until all boats
competing have finished or retired.
Penalty System
For multi hull fleets rules 44.1 and 44.2 (taking a penalty) are changed so that
only one turn, including one tack and one jibe is required.
Instruction 16.1 does not apply to Multi hull boats competing in Cruiser
events.
Time Limit
The time limit for all Sections (except Race 1 and Race 2 for the Open Cat Fleet
when not a handicap start) is 3 hours. Boats failing to finish within 30 minutes after
the first boat finishes or within the time limit, whichever is later, will be scored Did Not
Finish (this changes rules 35 and A4).
Open Cat Fleet Time Limits are 2 hours for Race 1 and 1.5 hours for Race 2. In
addition if a boat fails to finish Race 1 within 25 minutes of the first boat it will be
scored Did Not Finish (this changes rules 35 and A4).
Protests, Requests for Redress and Mediation
18.1
Protests and Requests for Redress shall be written on the appropriate forms which
are available from the OOD’s office and delivered to the OOD during the protest
time.
18.2 Protest time ends 30 minutes after the last boat of all the fleets has finished. For the
open Cat Fleet protests for race 1 will be accepted after race 2.
18.3 Hearings, if they are to proceed following mediation (see below), will be held at the
earliest possible opportunity at the discretion of the OOD.
18.4 Parents of interested parties from the junior fleet may accompany their children to
the hearing, or mediation, as observers only.
18.5 Mediation
18.5.1 A mediation hearing will be conducted for all protests lodged in accordance with
rule 61 which allege an infringement of a rule of Part 2, Part 4 or rule 31. Such
hearings will be held subsequent to the protest being lodged and prior to the
protest hearing.
18.5.2 The time and place of the mediation hearing will be decided by the mediator and
such advice may be given verbally. One representative of each boat will attend
the mediation hearing and no witnesses will be allowed. The mediator will decide
the manner in which testimony is given.
13
18.5.3 After taking testimony, the mediator will make one of the following conclusions:
The protest does not comply with rule 61 and the protestor should withdraw the
protest.
(b) The matter shall proceed to a protest hearing. This may be because rules not
suited to mediation may be involved or because evidence is too complex or
divergent or because injury, serious damage or a significant advantage may
have occurred or because of the apparent severity of the alleged
infringement or for any other reason decided by the mediator.
(c) No rule was broken and the protestor should withdraw the protest.
(d) A rule was broken by one or more of the boats involved, the infringing
boat(s) may accept a scoring penalty equal to a finishing place mid-way
between the boat’s actual finishing place and the score for a
disqualification and if so accepted, the protestor should withdraw the
protest. Half points shall be disregarded and the points of other boats shall
not be adjusted
(This changes rule 44.1)
18.5.4 A mediation hearing shall not be re-opened. No conclusion of a mediator shall be
subject to appeal or be grounds for redress.
19
Scoring
19.1 Club Championship
19.1.1 For all classes the Low Point system of RRS Appendix A will apply modified so that
each boat’s series score will be the total of her race scores, with her worst score
discarded if six races have been completed. Six races are scheduled, of which five
races shall be completed to constitute a series.
19.1.2 Open Cat points awarded for Race 1 and Race 2 are added together to
determine final placings for each Club Championship Heat.
19.1.3 Rule A9 applies. The number of boats entered in the series shall be determined
following the final heat of the series.
19.1.4 Open Section and Juniors finish placings will be calculated using the Regatta
Committee approved Yardsticks.
19.1.5 There shall be a minimum of three boats which start to constitute a heat; otherwise
that heat shall be cancelled.
19.1.6 To determine the champion skipper, or co-skipper (see instruction 2.7), points shall
be awarded to the nominated skipper, or co-skipper, not the boat. Thus if a
skipper, or co-skipper, changes boats during the season, points gained in previous
heats shall be retained. In the case of a Cruiser which has a co-skipper, points
gained by one skipper shall be also awarded to the other skipper.
19.1.7 Points are not transferable between Sections or fleets within a Section.
19.1.8 Average points shall be awarded as redress resulting from a redress hearing or
where a skipper is engaged on Club duties, with the approval of the OOD, which
prevent that skipper from racing.
19.2 Club Consistency
19.2.1 A minimum of seven heats for each Section shall be completed to constitute a
series for each Section. Open Cat Fleet heats consist of Race 1 and Race 2 added
together.
19.2.2 There shall be a minimum of three boats in a section which start to constitute a
heat for that section, otherwise that section’s heat shall be cancelled, and no
points shall be awarded in respect of such cancelled race.
19.2.3 At the commencement of the season each Section will establish a figure to be
called the MAXIMUM SCORE which shall be the number of boats on the SECTION’S
14
Club Register plus ten or such other numbers as may be approved by the Regatta
Committee.
19.2.4 Handicap placings shall be awarded on the basis of the handicap allocated to the
skipper for that race. However, points shall be awarded to the boat sailed by that
skipper.
19.2.5 Points are awarded for placing on handicap. First shall be awarded the Maximum
Score, second one less, third two less, and so on.
19.2.6 A boat which comes to the starting area but does not finish shall be awarded
points for the finishing place ONE more than the number of boats that come to the
starting area and shall be awarded at least one point. A boat which finishes shall
be awarded at least two points.
19.2.7 A boat which finishes and thereafter retires shall be awarded points for the finishing
place TWO more than the number of boats that come to the starting area.
19.2.8 A boat which finishes and thereafter is disqualified shall be awarded points for the
finishing place FOUR more than the number of boats that come to the starting
area.
19.2.9 A boat that comes to the starting area in a race that is subsequently cancelled
shall be awarded points for the finishing place which equals the number of boats
that come to the starting area.
19.2.10 A boat competing in another event with prior approval from the Chairperson of
The Regatta Committee or whose skipper is engaged on Club duties, with the
approval of the OOD, which prevent that skipper from racing shall be awarded
points equal to that boat’s average points for the series.
19.2.11 Average points are defined as points equal to the average, to the nearest tenth of
a point (0.05 to be rounded upward), of her points in all races in the series except
the race in question.
19.2.12 All heats programmed by the Club shall count towards the Consistency Series
unless the Regatta Committee has approved otherwise.
19.2.13 In addition to the provisions of instruction 19.2.10, a boat shall be awarded points
for a maximum of two races in which it did not compete. Points so awarded for
each of these races shall equal the lowest point score awarded to that boat for a
race during the series (including points awarded for races in which it did not finish
and/or retired and/or was disqualified).
19.2.14 Where a boat is sold or otherwise disposed of and another boat is sailed by the
former skipper of the disposed boat, points gained in previous heats of the series
may be transferred to the replacement boat with the approval of the Regatta
Committee.
19.2.15 Points are not transferable between Sections or fleets within a Section.
19.2.16 Placings in the Consistency Series shall be based on the total points awarded over
the series. The highest total points wins.
20
Safety Boat
Safety Boat will display a Green over White Diagonal Flag. They have right-of-way at all
times. Redress does not apply to a boat disadvantaged by a safety boat which is
performing a rescue.
21
21.1
Handicapping Systems for the Consistency Series

Sections may adopt a system based either on a percentage or a time as
preferred. In addition, if required, two sets of handicaps may be established to suit
the following wind strengths:
• Wind strength up to 12 knots
• Wind strength 12 knots and over
The wind strength will be declared by the OOD during the race by the display of
the following signals on the signalling yardarm:
• Wind strength up to 12 knots, one orange ball
• Wind strength 12 knots and over, two orange balls
The Section Handicapper will be responsible for assessment, arbitration and
record-keeping for that Section’s handicaps.
Appeals against handicaps or the administration of handicaps shall be made to
the Section Handicapper. A member dissatisfied with the outcome of such an
appeal may make a further appeal to the Regatta Committee. Such appeal shall
be lodged in writing with the Club or the OOD prior to the race following the
Handicapper’s decision being advised.
Retirement
A boat that has retired during a race shall not sail through the Finish Line.
A boat which retires shall either enter its retirement on the Retirement Sheet in the
NYC Training Centre within 15 minutes of reaching the shore or, if at a place remote
from the Club, advise the OOD as soon as possible
A boat which retires after finishing shall inform the OOD of doing so and the boat
shall be scored as per Sailing Instruction 19.2.7.
Safety and Responsibility
Attention is drawn to the RRS, Part 1, Fundamental Rule 4, “Decision to Race”,
which states, “The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to
continue racing is hers alone.”
The Club and its officials are not responsible for the seaworthiness of boats or for the
sufficiency or adequacy of their equipment.
It is a requirement that boats in the Cruiser section shall comply with the mandatory
safety requirements prescribed by the RRS Addendum A, YA Special Regulations
Part 1, Category 7 and boats in all other sections shall comply with the safety
requirements of RRS Addendum A, YA Special Regulations Part 2 ‘Off the Beach
Boats’.
Furthermore, to be eligible to race, Skippers must lodge with the Club before the
start of their season’s racing, signed NYC Compliance Forms for Special Regulations
Part 1 Category 7 for Cruisers and/or Special Regulations Part 2 for Off the Beach
Boats. Both forms include a Declaration that the boat is covered for third party
public liability insurance to a minimum of ten million dollars.
The Club or its officials are not responsible for any damage or injury, either ashore or
on the water, either to persons or boats, which might result from participating in
Club racing.
Racing may be abandoned or postponed when the average wind speed in the
race area is greater than 25 knots or in any event if at the discretion of the OOD
conditions for racing become unsafe. When abandoning, flag ‘N’ will be flown
ashore and by the rescue boats and all boats shall return to the shore to receive
further signals.
16
24.
Insurance
It is mandatory that each boat shall be covered by a current and valid third-party liability
insurance policy with a minimum cover of ten million dollars.
25. Personal Floatation Devices (lifejackets)
25.1
25.2
26
All skippers and crew of dinghies and catamarans must wear approved personal
floatation devices (PFDs) at all times in accordance with YA Special Regulations
Part 2 item 5.01
When the Race Committee deems the wind speed to be 20 knots or above or the
conditions to be severe the Y flag will be flown from the yard arm of the control
tower and the start boat and skippers and crew on cruisers must don PFDs level 150
or 100 (type 1) or level 50 (type 2) in accordance with Racing Rules of Sailing Part 4
rule 40.
