For all starts, the starting line will be between the mast on the Committee boat displaying an orange flag and a Dan buoy carrying an orange flag. The starting line is not a gate on subsequent laps. 4. 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 10h57. 5. The starting numeral board on the Committee boat shall display minutes after 10h57, changing with a sound signal every minute until 11h41 or for as long as there are starters in the area. 6. Boats start when the numeral board for their start is displayed. A full list of start times is available in the office. 7. 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. 8.
