I have seen Mr. "Take advantage of his perception of the rules " do a nifty 360 and be on his way after hitting a starting line buoy.
The rules say you must do a turn before recrossing the starting line or finish line, and Dave Perry says you can do the turn anywhere.
I am hoping that the requirement really is that the 360 turn must be in addition to turning around the buoy and recrossing the line.
What Mr. Speedy did was to just do his "required" turn around the buoy and restarted. That would be okay if he did not hit the buoy, but I am hoping his quick 360 around the buoy was not sufficient in his case. ?????
I guess you could do your turn and dip, or dip and do your turn for a proper finish, but maybe you need to go around the end for a proper start in EC-12 racing. ?????
Thank you
