Hate to break it to you but as it stands the rules are:
“THE R G PARIS CUP
Presented in 1946 by R G Paris. Shall be won by the “Seabird” class boat having the minimum number of points in a series of races, including the club regatta.”
“2.4 Eligibility to sail Seabird Half Rater Regatta
To be eligible to sail in the WYC Regatta a boat must have been afloat for two consecutive weeks prior to the date of the Regatta.”
I.E. The regatta is part of the RGP series not separate and the eligibility is to enter the race not eligibility to win the Wakeham trophy.
Andrew Read has called a sailing meeting for 25th June where hopefully the rule can either be scrapped or reworded.
