Glenmore Sailing Club - Sound Signal Only Starting Sequence

Sound Signal Only Starting Sequence

The use of this Starting Sequence by a Race Committee replaces rule 26 and eliminates visual signals (except class flags) in the Race Signals and the corresponding rules in Part 3.

The starting sequence shall consist of the following sound signals made at the indicated times.
Start Sequence Timing shall be from the beginning of any individual or group of sound signals.
Sound signals shall govern, even if visual signals are also used.
Short sound signals are 0.25 second in length
Long sound signals are 0.75 second in length
When more than one sound makes up a sound signal, the space between individual sounds is 0.25 second.
Individual and General Recall flags and sounds remain the same as in the RRS.
