I am crewing in the Couta boat winter series. Are the coordinates for the permanent marks (eg. North, East, X etc.) available? Really hard to record them as you go around hauling on a sheet!

Masthead wind indicators shall not be permitted, excepting for wool or ribbon or a soft burgee. A compass shall not include electronic tacking data.  However, a boat may carry a VHF radio."

On the basis that electronic navigation aids are not allowed, GPS Co-ordinates are not published. When using a Compass, the North, South, East and West Marks are at that beariing from Centre mark at a distance of 0.4 nautical miles
