1. The course number will be announced and displayed in the Café by 13h30 and on the port side of the Committee boat. See overleaf for courses. 2. For all starts, the starting line will be between the mast on the Committee boat flying an orange flag and a Dan buoy carrying an orange flag. The starting line is not a gate on subsequent laps. 3. To alert boats that a race will begin soon, the orange starting line flag will be displayed with multiple sound signals at least one minute before a warning signal (numeral board zero) is displayed at 14:00. 4. The starting numeral board on the Committee boat shall display minutes after 14.00, changing with a sound signal every minute until 15:17 or for as long as there are starters in the area. 5. Boats start when the numeral board for their start is displayed. A full list of start times is available in the office. 6. Near the end of the race boats must keep within 50 metres of the centreline of their sailing leg to make sure they receive a finish, especially when beating or sailing downwind. 7. The race will end at 16:05. Finish ranking is the order of boats on the water at that time, the leader being finished from a RIB or other boat at 16:05. 8. Boats must continue sailing until finished with an individual sound signal from a RIB as soon as possible after 16:05. Each sailor is also requested to note the boats next in front and behind.
