INVITE to Woking MYC Multi Hull Display sailing 13 July
Woking Model Yacht Club would like to invite MYA club skippers to Goldsworth Lake on Sunday 13 July 2008. The Multi Hull Association are putting on a display and as they are traveling long distances the more interest from local Skippers would be appreciated. Start at 11am and bring any class of yacht for a fun sail day with us. "Cats" should be good on the water. Hope you and your members can come along.  Regards  Grahame Palmer. Sec. Woking Model Yacht Club

Met & Southern IOM Championship.
For 2008 the Met & Southern 1 Metre Championship will consist of FOUR rounds held throughout the year at different venues within the District. The District Champion will be the skipper with the best total for any three races when all four rounds have been completed.  If an event is cancelled then that event becomes null and void and the champion will be the skipper with the best total for any two races from the Three completed events.
If a competing skipper acts as the Race Officer for an event he will be awarded "average" points for that event.

Calculation of race points for IOM District Championship competitors and Race Officers.
The calculation will be a modified version of the formula used for National Ranking events.  This version awards the skipper in last place a positive score rather than zero as in the MYA National Ranking formula.

Competitors' points will be calculated using the formula below where S is the number of yachts that start in at least one heat in the event and F is the competitor's finishing position.   Points will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

The Race Officer's points will be calculated by finding the average of that person's points after completion of at least 2 counting events.  Points will be rounded to the nearest whole number. Points awarded to Race Officers will be recalculated after each event.

How to enter for each round of the competition.
Entering each round of the 1 Metre Championship will follow the standard procedure.  Skippers should contact the secretary or racing officer of the host club and give details of sail number, MYA membership number, club, contact telephone number and range of frequencies.  If possible entries should be made well in advance of the date of the event and not later than the preceding Wednesday. 

Dates and venues for the four rounds of the 1 Metre District Championship 2008

Your support is needed to make the IOM Metre Championship a success.

A record of the results for each round will be kept on this web site. It will be regularly updated .
