Histed Scoring System

The Histed Scoring System is a low-point sailboat racing scoring system designed by Jonathan Histed. It is designed to encourage participation even if the normal skipper or crew is not available to sail.

Low Point System
Races will be scored under the low point system. Under the Histed system both the skipper and the crew shall be scored individually and equally. Each Sailor shall carry his own race scores throughout the season.

Excluded Races
There shall be one throwout for every five race sailed

Guest/Sponsor Provision
A Fleet member (sponsor) may give up his or her place to a non-fleet member (guest). The sponsor will be scored the same as the guest. The guest is only scored for races they actually sail in. For other races, if the guest is in the starting area, they will be scored DNS. If the guest becomes a Fleet Member, registers to race, and meets all other eligibility requirements, their guest points will count toward a series total score.

Race Committee Consideration, and sailors in the starting area
Any Jet 14 sailor in the starting area that does not sail shall be scored DNS. The starting area shall be defined as "on the water" and not "at the dock." If a Jet 14 sailor serves as volunteer race committee they shall be scored as DNS.

Elgibility
To qualify for series awards a sailor must have sailed in 50%+1 of the possible races. The sailor must be a member of the Jet 14 Class Association and a member of Fleet 60 Any other restrictions in the Jet-14 Constituion and bylaws shall apply.
