11.6 Sound Signals at the Finish
The instant the first boat that started properly finishes sound a clearly recognizable signal so that
the other competitors have a time reference to the first finish. This time must be recorded (the hour,
minutes and seconds) and the time limit calculated. It should be remembered, however, that an
OCS boat that was the first to cross the finish line may request redress and be reinstated, thus
influencing the time limit.
No other sound signals should be made. There is no reference to a sound signal being required in
the RRS, when a boat finishes. Making a sound signal for every boat is a nuisance when the RO is
recording the finishing positions on a dictaphone.
