IC37 Class 2023 Season Championship Trophy Notice Of Series

1. Eligibility: All IC37 Class One Design yachts and “Charterers” (together, “Teams”). A Charterer is defined as an individual or group that are signatories to a specific charter agreement with the New York Yacht Club.

2. Events: Required regattas are the 168th Annual Regatta (Saturday and Sunday racing only), IC37 Class National Championships and IC37 Class North American Championship plus one of the following regattas: Sail Newport Regatta and Safe Harbor Race Weekend (Saturday and Sunday racing only) – together, “Other Events”. If a Team sails more than one Other Event, the event with the best score will be counted.

3. Scoring: High Point as follows: The ranking for the Season Championship will be calculated by adding the four scored events as determined in paragraph 1 as follows: A Team’s final score for each event will be the number of the participants minus the number of boats that finished ahead of it. For example, if a Team wins a 25-boat event, it will be awarded 25 points; second place will earn 24 points; third place 23 points and so on. The 25th place boat will earn 1 point. A boat attending an event and scoring DNC will receive 0 points. If a boat is scored DNC in all races of an event, then that event will not count towards qualifying. The Team with the highest combined score will win the Season Championship. Ties between two Teams will be broken by head-to-head results. Ties between three or more teams will be broken based on the results of the North American Championship of the current season.

A Team will also be scored as Corinthian for each event that is sailed with a crew comprised entirely of Cat 1 sailors.

4. Prizes: Awards will be given to the top 5 Teams and presented at the awards ceremony for the North American Championship. In addition, a Corinthian Season Championship will be awarded to the highest scoring Team scored Corinthian as per paragraphs 2 and 3 above.
