Racing rules in the game

• R10On opposite tacks, a port-tack boat (wind from the left) keeps clear.
• R11On the same tack and overlapped, the windward boat keeps clear.
• R12On the same tack and not overlapped, the boat clear astern keeps clear.
• R13A boat that is tacking (past head to wind until close-hauled) keeps clear.
• R18In the zone (3 boat lengths) the inside boat gets mark-room. Does not apply at the windward mark between boats on opposite tacks.
• R29A boat over the line at the starting signal must return and start again.
• R31Touching the next mark, the start buoy or the committee boat gives the 5-second penalty.
• R15A boat that acquires right of way (e.g. right after a tack) must initially give the other boat room to keep clear.
• R18.2bThe boat that reaches the zone clear ahead gets mark-room.
• R18.3A boat that tacks inside the zone at the windward mark gets no mark-room and keeps clear.
• R22A boat returning after a premature start keeps clear.
• R28Leave the windward mark to port, sail through the leeward gate, finish between the green buoys.
• R44Instead of penalty turns: a boat that breaks a rule (contact, touching a mark) is much slower for exactly 5 seconds. During that time it is see-through and other boats sail straight through it.

Team Race (Appendix D)

• DTwo teams of 4 Optis each. Short course: start, windward, leeward gate, windward, finish (5 marks).
• D1The zone is only 2 boat lengths.
• D2Contact between boats of the same team is not penalised. Otherwise the 5-second penalty applies here too.
• D3Each boat scores its finishing place as points. The team with fewer points wins. On a tie, the team without first place wins. DNF, RET and DSQ score as many points as boats in the race.
