Situation
The race committee communicates orally, under rule 90.2(c), that the course will be: start, mark C to port, mark T to starboard, mark CX to starboard, mark J to starboard, mark T to starboard, mark DP to starboard, finish. The intention of the race committee is that the boats sail the course shown in the drawing below.

Question 1
Is mark T a rounding mark?

Answer 1
No.

Rule J2.1(4) requires the race committee to identify all rounding marks in relation to the definition Sail the Course. Mark T is not identified as a rounding mark.

Question 2
One of the boats sailed the course shown in the drawing bellow. Did she sail the course according to the definition?

Answer 2
Yes.

For the purposes of the definition Sail the Course, the string representing a boat’s track passes each mark on the required side and in the correct order.
