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.

If one Courses flag is flown by the RC:
Start, round the windward mark then the leeward mark, three times unless shortened. Finish at the leeward mark. All marks to port.
The windward mark corresponds to the Course Flag.
The leeward mark is the RC boat.

If two Courses flags are flown by the RC:
Start, round the windward mark, the leeward mark, then cross the start/finish line; three times unless shortened. All marks to port.
The windward mark corresponds to the first Course Flag.
The leeward mark corresponds to the second Course Flag.
Read the flags top down if flying, or fore aft if over the boom.
