Races will be started according to RRS 26.

If flag U has been displayed as the preparatory signal, no part of a boat's hull, crew, or equipment shall be in the triangle formed by the ends of the starting line and the first mark during the last minute before her starting signal. If a boat breaks this rule and is identified, she shall be disqualified without a hearing and scored OCS, but not if the race is restarted or re-sailed or postponed or abandoned before the starting signal. This changes rule 26.

This changes RRS 26.
