RACING RULE CHANGE

The Introduction of the 2009-12 Racing Rules includes the following change:

"The size of 'zones' at marks has been increased to three hull lengths.   There is no longer a 'Two-length zone', just a zone which is defined as 'The area around a mark within a distance of three hull lengths of the boat nearer to it'.

A boat is in the zone when any part of her hull is in the zone."

Although there is an option to change this, BTYC and Seahorse have decided after trials to keep to 3 hull lengths.
