         must not cut across the course and must go around the Turn Buoys so as not to interfere with boats
         racing.

7       RACE CANCELLED / POSTPONED / SHORTENED
7.1     Cancellaton

7.1.1    The Race Commitee has the power to cancel any race should unfavourable weather or other
         serious circumstances render such acton necessary. A red fag raised indicates that such race has
         been cancelled.

7.2     Postponement

7. .1     The Race Commitee has the right to postpone a race, in which case the red fag will be raised from
          the start boat. Race starts thus postponed may re-commence the startng procedure with the
          raising of the yellow fag as described in UKOPRA rules. Instructons will be given on VHF Radio Ch.
          8 to all crews.

7.3     Race shortened

7.3.1    A shortened race is a race over a course which has been shortened by the Race Commitee before
         the start. The decision with instructons about the shortened course must be handed in writng to
         the drivers and the tmekeepers.

8       FINISHING & CURTAILMENT
8.1     Race Stopped

8.1.1    A red fag raised at the Finish Line and the Turn Mark Control boats indicates the race has been
         stopped. Additonally, this signal may be given by other Ofcial Safety boats. A stopped race is a
         race which has been interrupted by the Race Commitee afer the start. Stopping the race is
         decided by the Race Commitee for reason of force majeure of which it is the sole judge. The Race
         Commitee classes the boats according to their positon at the previous Ofcial Timing Point.

8.2     Curtailing the Race

8. .1    A curtailed race is a race shortened by the Race Commitee afer the start.

8. .     The signal to be used to announce a curtailment will be the waving of the Chequered fag and the
         GUERNSEY Flag at the inish line.

8. .3    The OOD or other responsible ofcial can implement a curtailment decision at any tme during the
         event, provided the curtailment signal is broken out on the start/inish line.

8. .4    Once the curtailment signal has been broken out, all boats will stop racing at the end of their
         current lap.

8. .5    Raising a retrement fag will not preclude a driver from getng inishing points that would
         otherwise be awarded if the race is curtailed.

                            Advance Programme and Race Instructons 014 - Page 19 of 33
8.3     Finishing Procedure

8.3.1    When each leading boat for Class 3 completes the course and crosses the inishing line, the
         CHEQUERED fag will be waved. It designates the “winner” of that Class. When each leading boat
         for the Ofshore class completes the course and crosses the inishing line, the GUERNSEY fag will be
         waved.

8.3.     Boats in each class are responsible for countng their laps and ensuring they have completed the
         course correctly..

8.3.3    Any boat crossing the inishing line afer the “winning boat” for its class will be classiied as inishing
         the race and must pull into the centre of the course, regardless of how many laps have been
         completed.

8.3.5    The race may be curtailed or stopped at the inish line at any tme by waving the GUERNSEY fag
         and the Chequered Flag. This designates the end of the race.

8.3.7    Boats inishing must cross the inish line (a line taken from Castle Cornet to the Finish Buoy Mark 1)
         and contnue approx. 00 metres slowing down before turning into the centre of the course when it
         is safe to do so taking care not to impede other racing boats.

8.3.8    The 1st, nd and 3rd boats for each class should stay at the inish area and the Start Boat will then
         lead them back to the Wet Pits.

8.3.9    Boats must return to the Pits without crossing the course in front of boats stll racing. They must
         cross the course well past the inish line and must not interfere with boats racing across the inish
         line.

8.3.11 Afer inishing the race, compettors may not go alongside, collect other persons aboard etc.,
       before reportng to the ofcial inish berths and being cleared by Scrutneers.

9       RETIREMENT PROCEDURES
9.1.1    In the event of retrement an Orange fag must be hoisted untl in port. Failure to do so will result
         in a ine of GBP 1 5 / Euro 150.

9.1.     Boats when retred must report to the nearest patrol boat or if possible will contact Race Control on
         VHF Radio Channel 8.

9.1.3    In the event of retring, but subsequently repairing the boat, it is forbidden to proceed on the race
         course and to contnue racing.
