Courses for the point-to-point races

Buoy Race Courses

Start and finish between the RC boat and a temporary mark set by the RC boat. All races are three laps unless shortened.

If one flag is flown by the RC:
The windward mark is indicated by the Course Flag.
Start, then round the windward mark to port.
Next round either end of the start/finish line, leaving mark boat to port, or pin end to starboard to complete each lap.

If two flags are flown by the RC:
The windward and leeward marks are indicated by the Course Flags. The windward mark corresponds to the first Course Flag; the leeward mark corresponds to the second Course Flag.
Start, round the windward mark, the leeward mark, then cross the start/finish line to complete each lap. All marks left to port.
The start/finish line is closed unless starting or finishing a lap. Boats sailing through the line when not starting or finishing a lap will be scored DNF without a protest hearing. This amends RRS Rule 63, hearings.

Read Course flags top to bottom if flying, or fore-to-aft if over
