NOTICE OF RACE
You are cordially invited to participate in the 2009 “Live on the Edge” Multihull Regatta, on the weekend of May 30 and 31, 2009, hosted by the Eugene Yacht Club. The Regatta will be governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012, and the US Sailing Prescriptions, except as any of these may be altered by the Sailing Instructions or by class rules that do not conflict with the Rules, Prescriptions or Sailing Instructions.
Venue: Fern Ridge Reservoir, Eugene Oregon
Format: Seven races are scheduled. Sailing Instructions and Course Sheets will be available on May 30 at the Regatta site.
Classes: The Regatta is open to all Multihull classes.
Scoring: Scoring will be done according the Low Point System and based on the 2008 TABLE OF NORTH AMERICAN PORTSMOUTH NUMBERS for Multihull Classes, as published by US Sailing. One race will be thrown out for scoring purposes if 6 or more races have been completed. No races will be thrown out if completed races are five or fewer.
Trophies: Regatta trophy is the “Live on the Edge” pennant. The previous year’s winner has free entry to the Regatta to defend it. Trophies will also be awarded for Overall Standing per start group.
Overnight facilities: Registered participants can camp at the EYC grounds free of charge (see EYC Grounds’ rules below) or Richardson Park.

PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THESE EUGENE YACHT CLUB GROUND RULES
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PETS OF ANY KIND ALLOWED ON YACHT CLUB GROUNDS, even if they are left in a vehicle or other enclosure. If you must bring your pet, camping is available at the county’s Richardson Park, immediately Northwest of the EYC grounds. Park rates are $20 per night, plus $6.50 for each additional vehicle. Some electrical/water hookups and pay showers are available. A reservation fee applies. Call Lane County Parks at (541) 682-2000 for information and reservations. Reserve online at http://ecomm.lanecounty.org/parks.
• Please observe the ground signs and instructions for camping, swimming and parking of boats, cars and recreational vehicles. If you arrive late (after 10 PM Friday), please park and camp in the area just to the right inside of the EYC gate. Please keep cars off the front lawns (they are soft and we have an underground irrigation system) by using the available trailer dollies to move boats.
• Alcoholic beverages may be consumed discreetly and in moderation on Club grounds.
• Be conscious of safety. Please watch your children when they are on EYC grounds, even though they may be in the designated swimming area. Please don’t run, jump, or fish on or from the docks. SMALL CHILDREN MUST WEAR LIFE JACKETS AT ALL TIMES WHILE ON THE DOCKS OR NEAR THE WATER. Child safety while on EYC grounds is a parent’s responsibility.
• FOR THOSE WHO PLAN TO BRING AN RV: Eugene Yacht Club, at the insistence of the County Fire Marshall, can no longer permit electrical cords to cross vehicle traffic areas. Very few RV Club parking spaces are equipped with power hookups. Most RV campers using EYC grounds will therefore need to be fully self-contained.
