Subsequent races for makeup (makeup races cannot be banked) will be held as soon as possible after the end of the previous race. If a makeup is desired, the RC will use a course for the first race that finishes near what will be the starting area for the second race. Boats are to stay near the starting area so as not to miss the start of the second race. | |
