The start is described in section 4. The current section reads:
What is missing is any idea of the impact of missing the starting window.
For the record, the past intention is that a boat starting after the wound is assigned a start time of the end of the window, This acts as a de-facto penalty on tardiness.
For the remaining races in this cruise, this policy will be invoked, to wit:
“4..3 Racers shall endeavor to start the race within the starting window. If a racer does not start within the starting window, theiir starting time will be adjusted to the end of the starting window, rather than the actual time they crossed.”
In the long term, we will ensure this is updated permanently.
