There was an issue when some beginners who had their very first (international) regatta to compete and they had a problem to understand the meaning of Yellow flag and the penalty they had to take. The jury took a policy when a sailor gets the Yellow flag on first time and does not understand what she have to do on this situation, the jury will use an addition to the flag the hand sign to the sailor by showing with a finger to make a turn. We did not have to use it often but couple of cases we had, this sign was working well.
Trapezoid course was used for two Optimist fleets and local race management team did a very good job on the water, specially on shifty wind conditions.
Every day the OA provided the food and different juices for sailors when they came back from racing.
The race office, boat park, launching ramps were just at the front of the hotel where all sailors and officials were staying, it made all the organization very convenient to everybody.
Professional event and race management, nice venue and good number of young sailors turned the event a great success.
