RULES.
The Yacht Racing Association further recommend for the consideration of Sailing Committees :- 1st. That Yachts of different rigs should, whenever practicable, be kept separate. 2nd. That Flying Starts should be adopted when practicable, but no time should be allowed for delay in starting. 3rd. That if the start is to be made from anchors or moorings, lots shall be drawn for stations, and springs shall be allowed on the same bridle or anchor chain or warp as the bowfasts, but are not to be carried to a buoy, pier, other vessel, or fixed object. If any Yacht lets go or parts her bridle before the signal to start, or if she drags any moorings or anchor to which she is made fast for the purpose of starting, she shall be liable to be disqualified, unless such parting or dragging be explained. 4th. That, as weatherliness is a quality which it is. and shall be followed by a footnote reading :- "Where practicable, the same numbers as on the sails should be used for recall numbers also."
