• After you've set up your course, drivers launch
their boats and then stand in a line on the shore
a minimum of 6 feet apart. Do not walk between
a driver and his boat or you may cause radio
interference.
• To start, boats should be launched and lined up
together near the racecourse (see drawing #1),
ready for the starter's "Go!" Another way to start
is for each driver to hold his or her boat at water’s
edge. At "Go", drivers release boats and head for
the first buoy (see drawing #2).
• Race length is determined in advance by the
number of laps or by the amount of time (10 laps
or 5 minutes, for example).
