During a race

• You must guard the front and right side of your buggy.
• Watch for other pilots to your right and avoid them.

  but it is YOUR responsibility to avoid collision.

• The upwind pilot must fly high
• The downwind pilot must fly low
• YOU MUST NEVER USE YOUR KITE TO BLOCK ANOTHER PILOT
• When overtaking you must raise or lower your kite accordingly
  the overtaken pilot need not alter their kite position
  but must NOT move their kite to impede the overtaking pilot.
• At a mark there will be a line of pilots turning a mark, the leaders will be downwind of the followers after the mark, so kites must come in high and go out low. (this applies at a down wind turn but at an upwind turn the reverse is generally the case except for the last few yards as some pilots prepare to do a tack turn)
• Any pilot who hits a mark must go back round the mark to prove
  that they have not been advantaged in the manoeuvre.

• If retrieval to the pits or off the course is assisted the pilot is deemed

  equipment in the pit area.

• At the end of a race pilots should proceed directly back to the
  pit area until the race is closed.
