9. Handicaps 9.1 The Race Committee may select any of the following or a combination of those methods

a multiplier of the boat’s elapsed time. 9.3 PHS results will be calculated by the application of a Time Correction Factor (TCF) of a
four decimal number as a multiplier of the boat’s elapsed time. The Race Committee will in its absolute discretion determine a boat’s TCF in relation to its performance in previous races. The boat with the lowest corrected time (after application of scoring penalties, if any) will be scored first.
9.4 ORCi results will be calculated by the application of the Time-on-Time Simplified Scoring Option, using the ToT Offshore rating as printed on each boat’s ORCi Certificate, as a multiplier of elapsed time. The boat with the lowest corrected time (after application of scoring penalties, if any) will be scored first.
9.5 Class (Level Rating) races shall be decided based upon the elapsed time of each boat. Elapsed times shall not be adjusted by way of a handicap.

REPORTING MARINE ACCIDENTS AND THE MARINE SAFETY ACT 1998
AND THE MARINE SAFETY (GENERAL) REGULATIONS 2009. The provisions of the Marine Safety Act 1998 (the Act) came into operation on the 30th March 2009. The Marine Safety (General) Regulations 2009, (The Regulations) also came into force on the 30th March 2009. They may be accessed at www.legislation.nsw.gov.au The Act and Regulations replace the obligation under section 30G of the Maritime Services Act 1935 to report marine accidents involving death or injury or damage exceeding $100. The Act and Regulations also replace the provisions of a Memorandum of Understanding between NSW Maritime and Australian Sailing which related to collisions between racing vessels. The MoU was not widely circulated or understood by Clubs. Under section 99 (1) of the Act a master and owner have an obligation to report a marine accident. Regulation 96 sets out the conditions where a report is not required, and is therefore required in all other circumstances, and substantially changes the reporting requirements. It has particular relevance to racing yachts competing subject to an Aquatic Licence granted to a Club. Three separate situations are referred to in Regulation 96 and these are set out in the following Table and state the conditions where a report IS required.
Types of vessels involved Conditions for reporting Vessels two or more ALL of which are NOT racing.
Fatality or personal injury or Damage exceeds $5000
Vessels two or more of which ALL are racing
Fatality or personal injury or Damage exceeds $5000
Vessels one of which is racing and one of which is not racing
Fatality or personal injury or Damage exceeds $5000
