Course 14R1/2 Rater1.5 rounds · Inner Bay · start G/W

Why: The Short matrix at 150 degrees magnetic assigns Course 14R to 1/2 Rater. The R suffix selects the published reverse mark sequence. The route starts at the midpoint of the G/W line, uses Inner Bay as its Bay Mark and finishes at the midpoint of the white line.

The blue wind arrow points downwind; its label states the direction the wind comes from. Each coloured course begins at the midpoint of its selected Red or G/W start line and ends at the midpoint of the white finish line. Coloured arrowheads show the order of travel. Lines show the mark sequence once; follow the number of rounds in the key. Published port/starboard rounding instructions remain authoritative.
