Billvanrav - I applaud your efforts and your thinking 'out of the box' to get more people (new skippers and tired old skippers) out racing on the pursuit line.  Our crew did not find an issue with the Sailing Instructions.  The diagram clearly indicates from the direction of the boat finishing that the orange ball will be on your port end and the signal boat will be on the starboard end.  Additionally it is clear that all boats whose warning signal has not been made and those pursuit boats who are not flying a white flag shall keep clear of the starting line.  We thoroughly enjoyed the race on Sunday and the beautiful weather too!  Thanks again for everything that you do for the sport of sailboat racing.  You have done allot to get new and old racers of big boats out racing.
