  1. Trophy races count to relevant club series. If miniseries, aggregate result counts to club series.
  2. The Fleet Captain & Vice-Captain reserve the right to change the dates of trophy races if weather requires a postponement.
  3. If outside trophy races are postponed, the trophy will move to the next outside race (e.g. Seahorse Trophy could be for Club Outside Race 1, Studland Bay Trophy could be for Club Outside Race 2).
  4. Similarly, if inside miniseries are cancelled, the trophy will move to the next miniseries (i.e. RMYC Cup would be awarded on 11 Oct in place of PYC Friday Spring Cup).
