You would also realise that, at times, the starting and finishing lines can get pretty crowded. This can make it hard for us to read sail numbers particularly when you are returning from A buoy to the finish. Reading the numbers will become more difficult as sunset is getting earlier each week.
To help us identify every boat in the race could you please:
- keep well clear of the starting line until 1 minute before your starting time (Sailing Instruction Clause 3.5.5)
- keep well clear of the finishing line after you have crossed (Sailing Instructions Clause 3.9.3) – it would be even better if you could sail straight on for another 100 metres to let us have a good look at your sail number.
