1. Key Points For On Time Start
Launch On Time
Times have been allocated on the running order – it is essential that you launch at your allocated time
Take all seats, cox boxes, blades etc. to pontoons before you join the queue to launch
Help fellow competitors launching before you
Blaming any delay on the queue before you is not a valid excuse to avoid disqualification or time penalties
Automatic Disqualification
Crews who are not through the finishing line 25 minutes before the short course start time
Crews who have not passed the pylons 10 minutes before the short course start time
You will be turned back
Time Penalties
10 seconds per minute (see each marshal group picture for details)
Bring Sufficient Warm Clothing / Space Blankets
Obey Instructions From Marshals
Cox / steersperson is ONLY person who should speak to marshals and relay instructions to their crew
Crews who fail to follow directions from marshals will be penalised
Time penalties – 5 seconds per infringement
Disqualification for repeated failure to respond
Crews who are not able to manoeuvre themselves effectively will be held back and will start after all other crews
