Keeping clear of the course when not racing

All competitors are reminded of:

RRS 23.1 "If reasonably possible, a boat not racing shall not interfere with a boat that is racing." 

SI 10.3. [DP] Boats whose warning signal has not been made shall avoid the starting area during the starting sequence for other classes. The starting area is defined as a rectangle 50 metres from the starting line and marks in all directions. 

Coaches and support boats must comply with Sailing Instructions Appendix C part 3. This also means that the position of their vessels should not cause their associated competitor boats to interfere with other boats racing.
