Notes on the text
- With the exception of certain calls in Section M, the calls assume that
the protest flag and hail, and umpire flag and hail, have been made in accordance
with the rules.
- Some calls highlight important principles in the rules. For ease of reference,
these clarifications are printed in italics at the end of the call.
- Boat shading is used to differentiate between teams. Boats A, B, C are
shaded white and form one team, and X, Y, Z are shaded grey and form
the other.
- When boats are already overlapped at position 1 in a call, the phrase 'A
has no proper course restriction' is used to show that A is not subject to
rule 17 and may sail above her proper course. The alternative is 'A is subject
to rule 17'.
- Unless otherwise indicated, the wind is blowing from the top of the diagram.
- The calls refer to 'umpires' making decisions. Whilst it is normal to have
two umpires in an umpire boat, there is no requirement for this and the calls
apply equally when there is only one umpire.
