What does a race consist of?
A race involves going around several marks (buoys) to cross the finish line first. There is a start line, upwind A mark, downwind B and C marks, and a finish line. The boats cross the start line at the starting signal, race around A mark, then around the other marks (depends on which race sequence the race committee indicates) one or more times and then to the finish line. If enough races have been run, your worst race is thrown out from your score. The rankings after several races determine the Regatta winners and places of the other racers.
