SSCBC 2K racing at NYYC

New York Yacht Club is holding the 2K Global Team Race using the 2K  (2 Keelboats vs 2 Keelboats) format.

Race scoring is simple – if your team has the last placed boat it looses.

Each team races each other in a round robin and then it’s onto finals.

Mixed teams must me equal or +/- 1 of each gender.

The rules are modified to make racing more exciting, rule 17 (proper course overlap from astern is deleted and rule 16.2 Changing course is changed to allow hunting and dial-downs, just like in match racing. Penalties are just a tack or a gybe to keep the game close.

This format has an extended S course to allow a downwind finish and with no proper course restriction, the downwind legs turn into knife fights.
