Notes on the text      

  1. 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.
  2. Some calls highlight important principles in the rules. For ease of reference, these clarifications are printed in italics at the end of the call.
  3. 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.
  4. 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'.
  5. Unless otherwise indicated, the wind is blowing from the top of the diagram.
  6. 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.
