The course is set by the race officers on the day and communicated on channel 73 shortly around 17:50
The course starts off Little Oyster Cove and never crosses the Ferry path. It may be either a little to the North or to South of the Ferry Path and is most often to the windward side. Just look for yachts milling around and of course the committee boat, Uncle Robin, which forms one end of the start line.
