Sailing Instruction 10.4 is deleted and replaced with the following:
10.4 WHEN STARTING FROM THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON LINE:
10.4.1 The starting line is an extension of the line formed by bringing the Royal Yacht Squadron flagstaff into line with the white line on the orange diamond on the Castle, limited by the inner and outer limit marks which are starting marks. When either limit mark is on the pre-start side of the line boats shall start between the points of the line nearest the limit marks.
10.4.2 Vertical light beams are installed at the Royal Yacht Squadron to identify the starting line transit. The intensity of the light beam increases as the transit is approached and at the approximate point of the transit the rear light is momentarily obscured by the flagstaff. This is a navigational aid only and does not constitute the starting line, nor will a start be postponed because of any failure of the equipment.
10.4.3 The inner limit mark of the starting line will be a black inflatable buoy labelled RYS positioned approximately 80 metres from the Royal Yacht Squadron flagstaff.
| | BEARINGS FROM RYS FLAGSTAFF | OUTER LIMIT MARK | INNER LIMIT | | LINE 1 | 342°(T) in direction of West Bramble | West Bramble Buoy | Black Inflatable | | LINE 2 | 011°(T) in direction of South Bramble | South Bramble Buoy | Black Inflatable |
DIRECTION OF START AND LINE POSITION
(a) Prior to the first warning signal each day or to the first warning signal following a postponement, a signal displayed at the RYS Lodge flagstaff, as in the table below, will indicate the start direction and line position for the first race, and for all subsequent races unless there is a postponement.
(b) After a postponement, the direction of start may be reversed and/or the
start line changed.
| SIGNAL | LINE NO | DIRECTION OF START | | Green Flag over NP1 | 1 | West | | Green Flag over NP2 | 2 | West | | Red Flag over NP1 | 3 | East | | Red Flag over NP2 | 4 | East |
10.4.4 A boat shall not start later than ten minutes after her valid starting signal.
