Best Answer

The length of the course varies from day to day and from class to class depending on the days wind and tidal conditions. The shape of the course and number of laps (one) is set in the pre-event instructions. The Race Office will intend each race to between 45mins and 1hr there fore adjusting the course length before the start of the race.
