abandoning a race in no wind?

One of the better things the ISAF has done, putting all the rules free online. All the case books are on there as well, and there's pages with the rules for all ISAF International classes.

Look in the front of the rule book. N (the blue and white chequered flag) on its own, with three blasts, means all races started are abandoned and to return to the start area for further signals. It will be removed with a single blast, and the warning signal will then be a minute later.

N over H with three blasts abandons all races started, return to shore for further signals.

N over A is the end to your day.

The first part of the rules, which has the basic flag guide, is here.

S should only be used when the fleet can actually make it to the next valid finishing point, not to retroactively apply a finish potion based on rounding a previous mark.

Maybe we could have waited a little longer but its always a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Point taken re waiting for 1100

2:30pm kick off in the rugby may not have helped???

i know it was rubbish because i really wanted to race.

they normally postpone the race for a while first which is what we thought they had done (until we asked someone that actually knew what the flags meant!! )

at 11 o clock there was abit of breeze and i know i've raced in less so it seemed very strange. Me and chris thought about setting up a race but their didn't seem to be much interest.

i did get to replace my continuous kicker though so it wasn't too bad for me.
