(b) The starting line will be between a staff displaying a ‘START’ flag on the Race
Committee Boat at the starboard end of the line and a square raft mark with cube
branding at the other end of the line.
(c) Individual Recall notification may be broadcast on the VHF Channel 17. Failure of the
Race Committee to notify, delay in notification or the sequence of such notification
shall not constitute grounds for redress. This amends RRS 62.1.
(d) Addendum Q, excluding Q2.3, Q2.4, Q2.5, Q3.1(c), Q3.2 (b), shall apply from the
preparatory signal for the Leg and ceases to apply between boats which have passed
and cleared the gate formed by Mark 1 for the second time and Channel Mark 18.
5. LEG START EXCLUSION ZONES
Marshalling buoys will be laid around the racecourse to exclude spectator boats from
the leg start racing area. They do not have any relevance to the Boats.
6. ICE LIMITS
The ‘Ice Limits’ are positions used to form imaginary lines that Boats shall pass to
starboard. The western and eastern limits will be set prior to the start. The position of the
eastern limits may be moved north before any Boat has reached the longitude of 150°
00.000'W.
7. THE FINISHING LINE
The finishing line will be between No 8 and a square raft mark with cube branding. The
RC will be listening on VHF 77.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT
Each Boat will be provided with an Oceanographic research buoy, these buoys are
manufactured by Scripps Institute of Oceanography and each buoy measures
approximately 60cm x 60cm and weighs approximately 20kg. The instructions for
deploying the buoys will be supplied with the buoys. The buoys will be sealed in place
and shall not be deployed until the boat crosses the line of longitude 170oW. When the
buoy has been deployed the information form shall be completed and sent to Race
Control.
