Rules of sailing competition
Sailing race * * * will be held 1 1 round (49-man class 16 round), and the best 9 rounds (49-man class 15 round) will be selected to calculate the ranking of each sailing boat. The scores of each round of ranking are: 1 for the first place, 2 for the second place, 3 for the third place, 4 for the fourth place, and so on. The former 10 ship entered the final. The total score of each sailing boat is the sum of its ranking scores in each round. The less the total score, the higher the ranking. According to the rules of international sailing competition, athletes can bring their own sails, and they can participate in the competition as long as they pass the measurement of the measurement Committee according to the grade regulations.
There are two ways to bypass the Olympic trapezoidal route, one is the outer route and the other is the inner route. The order of the foreign competition routes is: sailing-1-2-3-2-3-end; The order of the inner race routes is: sailing-1-4- 1-2-3- destination.
The size of the venue is determined according to the meteorological and hydrological conditions during the sailing competition. Different levels of competition require different time, generally between 45 and 90 minutes.
There are two main forms of sailing competition, one is the "fleet competition" with a group start, and the other is the "competition" between two ships. Sailing competitions in the Olympic Games are all in the form of "fleet competition".
After the sailing signal is issued, any part of the rowing boat hull, crew or equipment touches the course when it reaches the first target course, which is regarded as "sailing". Before the sailing signal is issued, any part of the hull, equipment or crew of the rowing boat touches the route or its extension line, which is called "seizing the route" The hijacker should return to the navigation preparation area within the specified time and set sail again in the way stipulated in the rules.
When the hull, equipment or any part of the athlete's body of a sailboat bypasses all the prescribed signs and touches the finish line according to the prescribed voyage, the ship is the finish line of the race. The information exchange mode of sailing competition is to display "signals", including visual signals (international navigation flag) and auditory signals (sound), and visual signals are the main basis.
The sailing competition rules stipulate various signals and avoidance methods in the course of the competition to avoid collisions and accidents, which must be observed by the participating sailboats. One of the most important is "fair sailing", which must be won with superb technology and maximum speed, and it is not allowed to try to win by improper means.
The navigation rules of the competition also stipulate the direction of navigation and bidding. All sailboats must bid according to the designated party, otherwise the race will be considered incomplete. If the sailboat fouls in the race, it should be punished according to the "rules of the race" and "rules of navigation", and then continue the race.
Referee ship is the organization and command facility of sailing competition. All the "signals" are displayed on the referee's boat. When the flag of a certain level is raised at the flagpole of the departure ship, it indicates that it is ready to leave, which is an early warning signal of that level, and there are still 5 minutes to leave the ship; Raise the "P" flag (or I, Z, black flag), indicating that there are still 4 minutes to leave the flight; Lower the "P" flag (or I, Z, black flag), indicating that there is still 1 minute left; Lower the flag with an audible signal as a sign of navigation.
Before the route is opened, the sailboat will be recalled and set sail again in order to seize the voyage. If there are more sailboats competing, and the referee can't distinguish the sailboats competing, then all the sailboats of this class will be recalled and set sail again. Sailing boats must abide by the race route rules and navigation rules from the time of preparing the signal for 5 minutes. The sailing competition is held at sea, and the situation at sea is complicated. Therefore, athletes must be able to swim and swim a long distance. In addition, athletes should have good physical fitness to adapt to the test of long-term sea storms.
International sailing competitions are often held in strong winds, and the wind speed is 10 ~ 15 meters per second. It is necessary to keep the course and speed and avoid capsizing, which requires athletes to do their best to control the sails and boats and keep the balance of the boats. At the same time, we should grasp the surrounding environment, water flow speed, flow direction and air flow changes with a clear mind.
In the case of a large number of ships participating in the competition, athletes must be familiar with the rules of the competition and avoid foul. In addition, athletes must also know how to check and arrange the equipment on board, especially adjust the sails, in order to get the maximum power.
