Method note

Ranks after the start

What the start ranks measure and which checkpoint each figure uses.

Two checkpoints

Boats are ordered by progress along the course 60 s and 120 s after the gun. The 120 s rank is the start figure in the tiles and the daily table, and the regatta tile is its median. The 60 s rank is the baseline for places gained on the first leg, and the distance behind the leader at 120 s is the start’s share of the time budget.

Where an event sets a minimum tracked share, ranks stay blank in a race where too few of the placed boats were tracked at the checkpoint: a rank among a handful of tracked boats is not a place.

The figures, one by one

Rank after the start

Boats ordered by progress along the course 60 s and 120 s after the gun. The 120 s rank is the one the tiles and the daily table show; the 60 s rank is the baseline for places gained on the first leg.

Unit: rank
Reading it: 1 is leading.
Scope: Per race at 60 s and 120 s; the regatta tile is the median of the 120 s ranks.
