There are two separate starting lines designated the “INSHORE LINE” and the “OFFSHORE LINE.”

6.2 The “INSHORE LINE” is between the Inshore Wing Boat displaying a yellow placard with the letter “I” and the Center Race Committee Boat displaying a large yellow placard with the letter “I.” The line will extend from an orange inflatable mark attached to or located near the Inshore Wing Boat to an orange inflatable mark attached to or located near the Center Race Committee Boat.

A boat failing to stay clear may be protested by the Race Committee and may be penalized by having a sixty (60) minute time penalty added to her elapsed time by the Protest Committee following a hearing.

 

7. RADIO COMMUNICATION
