Sections 2.3 and 2.4 have been updated to conform with US Sailing Rules. These changes will not affect any race results to date.
Choptank NORSI July, 2022 updated
2.3 Safety Equipment - For all classes, the “Nearshore” category of the US Sailing Safety Equipment Requirements (available at
https://cdn.ussailing.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Monohull-SER-2022.0-Nearshore.pdf) will apply.
Previously, the PHRF of the Chesapeake specified racing safety requirements. They have discontinued that service.

2.4 Penalty Turns - Rule 44.1 (taking a penalty) is modified to allow a boat to take a one turn penalty versus a two-turn penalty when she has broken one or more rules of Part 2. A penalty for breaking a rule of RRS Part 2 will be one complete one turn penalty. Specifically, after getting well clear of other boats and as soon after the incident as possible, a boat will make one turn in the same direction consisting of one tack and one gybe. The penalty turn will be completed within the current course leg.
The term "360" (degrees) has been removed as one jibe and tack can be completed in less than 360 degrees. E.g., from a beam reach she can fall-off into a jibe and then tack back to close-hauled in the original direction: almost 360.
