The rating shall be given to one place of decimals, if the second place of decimals be a 5 or over one shall be added to the first place, if less it shall be disregarded. Hating Length, Rating length shall be taken in a straight line from the fore end to the after end of the load water-line, provided always that if any part of the stem or stern post, or other part of the vessel below the water-line, except the rudder, project beyond the length taken as mentioned, such pro- jection or projections shall for the purposes of the rule, be added to the length taken as mentioned, and pieces of any form cut out of the stem, stern- post or fair-line of the ridge of the counter, with the intention of shortening the load water line, shall not be allowed for in measurement of length, if at or immediately below the load-line, nor above, if within six inches of the water level. Rating length shall be taken only when the Yacht is lying in smooth water with the usual number of her racing crew on board at and about mid overall length. Owners shall mark the extremities of the Rating length so taken on the stem and stern-post of their Yachts under the direction of the Measurer. .^ The Sail area shall be taken as follows : — • ■s 29 La t ten or Jib kin de, Mainsail.

A yacht so returning, or one working into position from the wrong side of the line after the signal to start has been made, must keep clear of all competing yachts. 2, Recall Numbers. Each sailing Yacht entered on the Squadron list shall, at the beginning of the season, be allotted a recall number, which shall serve as a distinguishing number. In starting a race, should any yacht cross the line before the signal for the start has been made, her distinguishing number shall be exhibited as soon as possible, as a recall, and kept displayed until the said yacht shall either have returned and recrossed the line to the satisfaction of the officers in charge, or have given up the race. The numbers to be in white on a black ground, and the figures not less than 2 ft. 6 in. in height. 3. Entries for Races Re-Sailed, Should any yacht duly entered for a race not start, or having started should she give up, or be disabled during the race, such yacht shall, in the event of the race being re-sailed, be entitled to start ; but no new entries shall be received under any circumstances whatever for a postponed race. 40 B* 1 1, ', c!

(Signed.) Date. 8. Hands. In yachts of 10 rating and under, the total number of persons on board during a match shall not exceed the number set forth in the following table : Not exceeding 0.5 rating. 2 persons. Exceed'g 0.5 and not exceed'g 1 rating 3 1.0 " " " 2.5 " 5 II 11 II w 2.5 5 II u II II il 11 5. 10 ti II II 7 9 II II If an owner of a yacht elect to have such yacht measured for rating length with a smaller number of persons on board than set forth in the ^ore- going table, said number shall be stated on the Certificate of Rating, and shall not be exceeded in any race sailed under the certificate. Any hand may join or leave a yacht before she has crossed the starting line, but not afterwards, 42 except in case of accident or injury to any person on board. 9. Anchors and Chains. No more than the usual anchors and chains shall be carried during a race, and these must not be used as shifting ballast, or for altering the trim of the yacht, and all ballast shall be properly stowed, and shall not be shifted or trimmed in any way whatever during a race. 10. Life Btwys. Each yacht shall carry at least two life buoys ready for use. Open yachts with more than four hands on board shall carry in addition one life buoy for each extra two hands, or a life belt for each extra hand. 11. Yachts Meeting. . When two yachts are approaching one another so as to involve risk of collision, one of them shall keep out of the way of the other, as follows, viz : — A yacht which is running free shall keep out of the v/ay of a yacht which is close-hauled. A yacht which is close-hauled on uhe port tack shall keep out of the way of a yacht which is close-hauled on the starboard tack. ft - 43 When both are running free with the wind on different sides, the yacht which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other. When both are running free with the wind on the same side, the yacht which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the yacht which is to leeward. A yacht which has the wind aft shall keep out of the way of the other. 12. Rounding Marks ^ (^c. When rounding any buoy or vessel used to mark out the course, if two yachts are not clear of each other at the time the leading yacht is close to, and actually rounding the mark, the outside yacht must give the other room to pass clear of it, whathe ^ it be the lee or weather yacht which is in danger of fouling the mark. No yacht shall be considered clear of another yacht, unless so much ahead as to give a free choice to the other on which side she will pass. An overtasking yacht shall not, however, be justified in attempting to establish an overlap, and thus force a passage between the leading yacht and the mark after the latter yacht has altered her helm for the purpose of rounding. c_/ 44 IS. Ohstrurtio^is to Sea Room. When passing a pier, shoal, rock, vessel, or other obstruction to sea room, should yachts not be clear of each other, the outside yacht or yachts must give room to the yacht in danger of fouling such obstruction, whether she be the weather or the leeward yacht ; provided always that an overlap has been established before an obstruction is actually reached. 14' Luffing and Beating Away. A yacht overtaking any other cjhall keep out of the way of the overtaken yacht, and a yacht may lufF as she pleases to prevent another yacht passing to windward ; provided she commences so to lufF before any part of the bowsprit or hull of the overtaking yacht comes abreast of her mainmast, but must never bear away out of her course to hinder the other passing to leeward — the lee side to be considered that on which the leading yacht of the two carries her f ain boom. The overtaking vessel, if to leeward, must not luff until she has drawn clear ahead of the yacht she has overtaken. If), Approaching Shore. If two yachts are standing towards a shore or shoal, or towards any buoy, boat, or vessel, and the yacht to leeward is likely to run aground, or 45 foul of such buoy, or boat, or vessel (a mark ves- sel excepted), and is not able to tack without com- ing into collision with the yacht to windward, the latter shall at once tack, on being hailed to do so by the owner of the leeward yacht, or the person acting as his representative, who shall be bound to see that his own vessel tacks at the same time. 16. Running Aground, dsc. Any yacht running on shore, or foul of a buoy, vessel, or other obstruction, may use her own an chors, boats, warps, &c., to get off, but may not receive any jissistance except from the crew of the vessel fouled. Any anchor, boat or warp used must be taken on board again before she continues the race. 17. Fouling Yachts, Marks, &c. Each yacht must go fairly round the course, and must not touch any buoy, boat or vessel used to mark it out, but shall not be disqualified if wrongfully compelled to do so by another yacht. Any yacht causing a mark vessel to in any way shift her position to avoid being fouled by such yacht, shall be disqualified. If a yacht in conse- quence of her neglect of any of these rules, shall foul another yacht or compel other yachts to foul, si}e shall forfeit all claim to the prize, and shall pay all damages. 4G 18. Means of Propulsion. No towing, sweeping, poling or pushing, or any mode of propulsion except sails, shall be allowed. 19. Anchoring. A yacht may anchor during a race, but must weigh her anchor again and not slip. No yacht having crossed the starting line, shall, during a race, make fast to any buoy, stage or pier, or send an anchor out in a boat except for the purpose of Rule 16. W. Sounding. No other means of sounding than the lead and line allowed. 21. Man Overboard. In case of a man falling overboard from, or in case of any dangerous accident to, a competing yacht, all other yachts in a position to do so, shall use their utmost endeavors to render asssistance ; and if it should appear that any yacht was thereby prevented winning the race, the Committee shall have power to order it to be re-sailed. 22. Protests. Should the owner of any yacht, or the person acting as his representative, consider that he has a fair ground of complaint against another for 47 foul sailing, or any violation of these rules, he must, if it arise during the race, signify the same on first passing the finishing point, by showing an Ensign conspicuously in the main rigging. The protest shall be made in writing, and under such regulations (if any) as the Sailing Committee may have determined, within twenty-four hours (not including Sunday,) of the arrival of the protesting yacht, and shall be heard by the Sailing Com- mittee, and decided, after such enquiries as they may consider necessary. They shall also, without a protest, disqualify any yacht, should it come to their knowledge that she has committed a breach of the rules. 23. Removal of Mark. Should any flag vessel or other mark be remov- ed from its proper position, either by ace lent or design, the race shall be sailed over again, or not, at the discretion of the Sailing Committee. 24- Disqualification of Yacht Any yacht disobeying or infringing any of these Rules, which shall apply to all yachts, whether sailing in the same or different races, shall be dis- qualified from receiving any prize she would other- wise have won, and her owner shall be liable for all damages arising therefrom. It . . .ft 48 In the event of any yacht being disqualified, the next in order shall be awarded the prize. 25. Disqualificatioyi of Owner. Should a flagrant breach of these Rules be proven against any yacht, her owner, or sailing master, or both, may be disqualified by the Sailing Committee for any time they may think fit from sailing in any race held under the Rules of the Squadron. 26. Limit of Time. The Sailing Committee shall, at the beginning of each season limit the time of finishing each race and insert the same in the fixtures of the year. In the event of a race not being completed within the time prescribed by the Sailing Com- mittee, it shall be considered as "no race," and may be re-sailed, subject to By-law Y., B. If any yacht finish within the time limit, all succeeding yachts shall be entitled to be timed and the prizes awarded. 21 . Classification. The classification of yachts shall be as follows : — 5 th Class, not exceeding 1| rating. 4th " exceeding 1^ rating and not exceeding 3 rating. 49 .Srd Class, exceeding 3 rating and not exceeding 5 rating. 2nd Class, exceeding 5 rating and not exceeding 10 rating. Ist Class, exceeding 10 rating. ^S, Shortening Course. \i it be necessary during a race to shorten the course, the signal flag denoting the race hoisted under the White Peter, or in case of fog or dark- ness two guns fired, shall show that the race is to finish with the round about to be comj)leted, or at such mark as the Hailing Committee or Officers of the day may appoint, and the time allowance shall Le reduced in proportion. 29. Postponing a Race. If it be necessary to postpone a race, letter N. of the Commercial code hoisted over the flag denoting the race, shall be a signal that the race has been postponed. SO. Place of Marks. As distance is an important element in the calculation of time allow^ance, the marks and flag boats should be placed so as to mark as accurately iri t ' > i! i 50 as possible the length of the course for which time is allowed. 31. Sea Room, The Sailing Committee should be particularly careful to provide ample room between the points marking the starting line. 32. Rig Allowance. The rating of schooners and yawls shall be reckoned for time allowance as follows, viz : schooners at 75 per cent, and yawls at 85 per cent, of their actual rating ; provided that, in case of a yawl, her mainsail does not exceed 37 of her total sail area, and that her mizzen is not less than .06 of her total sail area. In the case of a pole- masted yawl, her mainsail shall not exceed 46 of her total sail area, and her mizzen shall not be less than .075 of her total sail area. In schooners the foreside of the mainmast shall at the deck be not farther forward than the middle of length of the load water line. In calculating the deduction for difference of rig, the rating by certificate to the exact fraction is to be used. The time allow- ances are to be calculated from each vessel's re- duced rating, but schooners and yawls shall not be allowed to enter at their reduced rating. 51 38. Time Allowance. Time shall be allowed on arrival for difference in rating or tenths of rating, according to the annexed scale, increased or decreased in proportion to the length of different courses. In yachts under 10 rating the sail areas and total sail areas shall be computed by ratings and tenths of ratings. u \ 55 [as adopted by the yacht racing association.] SCALE OF ALLOWANCES FOR DIFFERENCES OF RATING.
