Starting signals, Boats must be off the pontoon and sailing or their crew stood in the water holding the boat afloat, by the four minute signal.
Penalties reminder:Â
Touching a mark, 360 turn (1 tack and 1 gybe)
Any other infringement of the rules 720 turn (2 tacks and 2 gybes).
Penalties to be taken in clear water away from other race boats, before the next mark and in as close a continuous cycle as conditions permit.
