The Traveller Series was developed to encourage Starling sailing right through the season up to the Nationals. It was also designed to encourage Starling sailors to attend regattas away from home and in doing so to expose sailors in those areas to consider taking up Starling sailing.
The scoring system is 30 for 1st, 29 for second down to 10 points for 20th and for all others who sailed at least one race.
