Midweek and
Fall Series
The Midweek and Fall Series, have multiple starts. The starting sequence
is uninterrupted. The starting signal for the starting class is the
warning signal for the next class. If the start is fair, meaning no one
was on the course side of the starting line at the start, the next class
flag is raised as the starting class flag is lowered. (one up and one
down)
Individual Recall
In the case of an Individual Recall, after the next class flag is raised,
one additional sound and the Individual Recall Flag will be raised. The
Race Committee will attempt to hail the guilty boat(s), although it is the
boats responsibility to start properly. The Race Committee attempt to hail
them is a courtesy.
General Recall
In the case of a General Recall, after the next class flag is raised, two
additional sounds and the General Recall flag will be raised. In the event
of a General Recall the recalled fleet will start at the end of the class
starts.
