FD UK
Travellers Trophy
CURRENT YEAR, RESULTS, EVENTS & RULES
The
Travellers Trophy is awarded to the team comprising a designated helm and his/her crew(s)
that achieves the best overall results from the races in the qualifying regattas.
Any FD helm who attends a qualifying event with an FD will be automatically
included in the results of the Travellers Trophy so long as he/she is a paid up
member of IFDCO and the crew is a paid up member of the IFDCO British Section
except that any crew sailing in
just one event in a Calendar year does not need to be a member. Similarly
substitute helms or crews do not need to be a member if it is their first event
in a calendar year (Committee meeting on 16 November 2003)

and RESULTS

Changes

Clarification
To confirm previous practice of using event results and scoring FDs qualifying

that event using the scoring system for that event. Thus in case of the SGP the
overall event results are used even though FDs sail on different handicaps.
For 2005 the
scoring system will be as for 20003/4 with 5 results to count.

Changes
for 2002
Aim
of changes
To encourage FD sailors to attend more regattas and to raise visibility of FD at
sailing clubs around the country.
Change
Introduction of secondary events which will be scored in same way as primary events
but will only be counted if:
3 FDs participate
At least 1 FD travels from its designated home club
The Travellers Trophy Co-ordinator is advised at least 30 days prior to the event
Notes
Any FD sailor may nominate a secondary event and needs to encourage at least 3 FDs
to attend the event.
An email should be sent to the Coordinator
as soon as possible with details of the event. This is to allow time to notify
other sailors to increase participation at the event and to give all interested parties an
opportunity to attend the event. See article.
NB
By encouraging more boats to attend you will increase your chance of getting more
points and will assist in raising the profile of FD sailing
in the UK.
Changes
for 2001
Aim
of changes
To provide more incentive to race FDs as too many owners are not taking their FD to
an event because they do not have a crew, yet there are usually crews available to sail.
Contact Peter Doran if you do not have helm, crew, FD but have experience of racing
in trapeze dinghies/FDs and wish to participate.
Changes
1 Include Nationals and Worlds in qualifying events
2 increase number
of points for taking an FD to an event from 0 to 5
3 increase number
of points for overall result to number of British Section boats beaten in overall results
+ 5 points.
In addition to
encourage FD sailors to continue in following year and to increase further the number that
attend the Midlands Area Championships, the Midland areas will count as the first event in
the series. The last event will be the weekend before the Midland Areas. The prizegiving
is at the Midland Areas.
Changes for 2000
Aim of changes
To increase
participation and to provide incentive for every FD sailor to encourage maximum number of
FDs to attend and race in each event.
Changes
High score system will be used. 1
point will be awarded to last boat in the overall results of each qualifying regatta, n
points for being first where n is the number of competitors at the event that have sailed
at least one race.
The qualifying
regattas consist of 7 designated FD UK Open meetings including the FD National Championship (Oxford, Whitstable,
Lee-on-the-Solent (Southern Area Championship), Bala, Nationals (Abersoch), Burton,
Rutland (Midland Area Championship)
4 out of of the 7 events to count.
