In the Racing Rules of Sailing (ìRRSî) for 2005-2008 ISAF has included only one starting system. This five-minute sequence replaces the old Systems 1 and 2. See http://www.ussailing.org/racemgt/Rule_26_Starting/ for more info.

 

Rule 26   STARTING RACES   Races shall be started by using the following signals. Times shall be taken from the visual signals; the absence of a sound signal shall be disregarded.
Signal	Flag and sound	Minutes before starting signal
Warning	Class flag; 1 sound	5*
Preparatory	P, I, Z, Z with I, or black flag; 1 sound	4
One-minute	Preparatory flag removed; 1 long sound	1
Starting	Class flag removed; 1 sound	0
* or as stated in the sailing instructions   The warning signal for each succeeding class shall be made with or after the starting signal of the preceding class.

 

 

 

 

 

This system is recommended primarily for small-boat racing and makes it unnecessary for competitors to use stopwatches.  Supplemental visual course and recall signals are also recommended when practicable.

1.   Course and postponement signals may be made orally

2.   Audible signals will govern, even when supplemental visual signals are also used.

  3.   The starting sequence will consist of the following sound signals made at the indicated times:

 

      Signal                   Sound                Time Before Start

      Warning                 3 long                 3 minutes

      Preparatory           2 long                 2 minutes

                                    1 long, 3 short    1 minute, 30 seconds

                                    1 long                 1 minute

 

                                    3 short                30 seconds

                                    2 short                20 seconds

                                    1 short                10 seconds

 

                                    1 short                5 seconds

                                    1 short                4 seconds

                                    1 short                3 seconds

                                    1 short                2 seconds

                                    1 short                1 second

                                    1 long                 0

 

4.   Signals will be timed from their commencement.

  5.   A series of short signals may be made before the sequence begins in order to attract attention.

  6.   Individual recalls will be signaled by the hail of the sail number (or some other clearly distinguishing feature) of each recalled yacht.  Flag ìXî need not be displayed.

  7.   Failure of a competitor to hear an adequate course, postponement, starting sequence, or recall signal will not be grounds for redress
