Finn-Class-Rules 2007:
C.1 RACING RULES OF SAILING
C.1.1 In alteration to RRS 42:
(1) Flag [Quebec] displayed at the start or near a mark, indicates that: “After starting or rounding the nearby mark, RRS 42 is varied in that except on a beat to windward, pumping, rocking and ooching are permitted”.
(2) Flag [Romeo] displayed near a mark indicates that: “After rounding the nearby mark, RRS 42 applies without variation”.
(3) The Finn Class recommends that Race Officers apply Rule C.1.1 (1) in winds of 12 knots and above, measured at deck level.
C.1.2 Flags specified under (1) and (2) above can be changed by the Notice of Race and/or Sailing Instructions. When displayed near a mark, the Flags should if possible be on a hard board to maximise visibility, and accompanied by a sound signal.
