A series of starts and beats to finish at a windward mark. After each finish, boats should immediately return to the start area and prepare for the next start sequence. The aim is to have four or five starts, then repair to the Bilge Bar for a de-brief, and to hear or discuss any protests that may have been made.
Last race may be A-C-Fin to allow some spinnaker practice time and weather permitting. Look for the Port rounding flag during the start sequence.
