SAFETY AND HANDICAPS
There are two pieces of paperwork that you need to complete before you set sail in the PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic.
SAFETY
The Coastal is defined by Yachting NZ as a Category 3 event. This means you need to get a Cat 3 safety certificate issued by Yachting NZ. These require an insepction, cost $121 for club members and are valid for two years.
HANDICAPS
As the Coastal is a mixed fleet race, we use handicaps to calculate time based results. If you have a keelboat, you’ll need a PHRF handicap certificate from Yachting NZ, which costs $75 for a new application and is valid for a year. Multihulls can request a handicap from the NZMYC.
THE COURSE
We are currently making adjustments to the course.
All boats start at the same time!
A 14 nautical mile sprint
The Start
You need to get out in good time to the start line which is located between North Head bouy and the start boat. All boats will start at the same time and you may use your engine for safety purposes right up to the star.

The Finish
At present there are two likely finish areas - either at North Head were you started or at Jellicoe Wharf. This will be updated in due course
