Rules and Procedures
The Seven Lakes Sailing Club (SLSC) is devoted to the promotion of sailing, sailboat racing and safe boat handling in general. It abides by the universal maritime right-of-way rules and the US Sailing Rules for Racing. The SLSC sponsors mixed fleet races which are scored under the Portsmouth Number (DPN) handicapping system as administered by the US Sailing Association. Where required, we are also using Lake Auman specific handicaps on a trial basis since 2012.
