IMA Class Rules - Message to Mini Maxi Owners
07/07/2010Dear Owners,
ISAF has recently approved the Maxi Class racing rules which will apply, from now onwards, to the Maxi regattas.
For 2010 Mini Maxi events, including the Mini Maxi Rolex World Championship, the Part 3 and specifically paragraph 3.3 (ii) and (iii), reported below, will be in force.
3.3 MINI MAXI RACING DIVISION
(ii) The Mini Maxi Racing Category shall allow both non-owner drivers and
owner drivers to race in the same fleet, however there will be a separate
scoring for the qualifying owner-driven boats (Owner Driver Category) and a
joint scoring for all boats regardless of helmsman (Open Category). In each
event the main trophy shall be awarded to the winner of the Owner Driver
Category and a minor trophy awarded to the winner of the Open Category.
(iii) Scoring for the Owner Driver Category per race will be such that the
placement score of any non-qualifying boat will be omitted in the scoring so
that all qualifying boats in the category will receive sequential scores for the
race in question.
As indicated in the Notice of Race, all the Mini Maxi will race together and the title will be assigned to the winner of the Owner Driver Category.
The complete text of the Racing Rules are available on the IMA website at the following link: http://www.internationalmaxiassociation.com/pdf/IMA_CLASS_RULES_2010.pdf .
The IMA Secretariat and Technical Office, as well as the YCCS Race Office, may be contacted for any further information.
Best regards,
IMA Race Secretariat
