The Southerly Mark is the Pier outfall mark. Any competitor passing the wrong side of the Cardinal Mark at Boscombe Pier will face disqualification.
4. Bournemouth Pier: All race boats will be required to pass between TWO marks at Bournemouth Pier, thus forming a GATE. The Northerly Mark is the Pier Outfall Mark. The Southerly Mark will be an Orange laid racing buoy. Any competitor passing the wrong side of the Outfall Mark at Bournemouth Pier will face disqualification.
