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 Gavin |

Just as a matter of interest, what is the abandon sequence flag wise if the
race has gotten under way, but the wind failed, they haven't made the 1st mark, so flag S isn't an option? Nearly occurred today and I couldn't for the life of me remember. |

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. Edited by alstorer |

Thanks for that, only rule book I currently own dates back to the seventies,
the Elvstrom book with the little plastic boats in the cover.. Not a brilliantly equipped OOD. |

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.
