The Race Committee shall establish the starting line for as close to a windward start as practical and favoring a starboard tack start. Visual and sound signals shall be given from the line side (port) of the RCB. The visual signals take priority over the sound signals. Unless some event directly affects the RCB or its crew, the WARNING signal shall be given 5 minutes before the published race time. Racers are expected to arrive in the vicinity of the starting line in sufficient time to be checked in and "race-ready". It is he responsibility of the racing skipper to monitor the starting signals and to act as his/her own timer. At the preparatory signal, racing rules become in force, and all "tows" or propulsion other than by sail must cease regardless of position on the lake. SLSC will use rule 30.1, the 'round the end' rule, so any boat on the wrong side of the starting line after the preparatory signal must return to the proper side around either end of the line (no 'dip' starts), without interfering with legal starters.
