The sailing regatta
Competitors in a sailing regatta have to sail around a course defined by two marks – often buoys – at one end
the windward mark, which is always placed in the eye of the wind, and at the other the leeward mark. The
distance between the two marks depends on the strength of the wind. The starting line and the finish line are
perpendicular to the line between the two marks.
Windward course
Countdown function
- (2) Press to start countdown
- (3) Press to reset countdown to zero
There are two standard starting procedures
These two types of countdown are displayed on your watch at 6 o' clock
Procedure 1 Procedure 2
10 minutes 5 minutes 1 minute 6 minutes 3 minutes 1 minute
The 1st substitute (yellow and blue pennant) and the 2nd substitute (blue and white) are marked by the firing of
agun, the 3rd substitute is marked by the sounding of a horn.
The starting signal is given by the firing of a gun.
The course
1. Head for the windward mark
Ex. 360°
2. A sailing boat can never head directly towards a point situated in the eye of the wind. It must tack, which is
to beat up to windward by exploiting the apparent wind to the maximum. This is known as sailing close-
hauled.
Eachtype of sailing boat has its own beating angle
There are innumerable possibilities of tacking for sailing from Ato B:
windward mark leeward mark wind
Conventions:
Port: left-hand side of the boat
Starboard: right-hand side of the boat
Aship sails starboard tack if the starboard side is
windward, and port tack if the port side is windward.

3. Define the port and starboard laylines
Sail close to the port tack: heading 45° Sail close to the starboard tack: heading 315°
This heading defines the port layline This heading defines the starboard layline
These two laylines define the sailing zone – exiting this zone will increase the distance covered.
Indicate the heading of the port layline (45°) on the exterior rotating bezel (A) opposite the red arrow.
Using the crown (B)indicate the heading of the starboard layline (315°) on the upper interior rotating
bezel (C) opposite the red arrow.
windward mark leeward mark wind
4. Using crown (D)indicate the heading of the leeward mark in the window provided.
Ex. Heading of the leeward mark: 360° - 180° = 180°
Recommendations
Like all micro-mechanical precision instruments, your Hamilton watch should be checked at least once every
two years. Entrust your watch only to an authorized Hamilton agent. To keep your watch water-resistant, make
sure that its sealing features are tested at every check-up.
The water-resistance of your watch is 10 ATM = 100 meters = 330 feet.
Five basic rules for maintaining the water-resistance of your watch
1. Have your watch checked regularly (once a year).
2. Do not move the crown when you are in water.
3. Rinse off your watch after having been in the sea.
4. Dry your watch whenever it gets wet.
5. Have your watch checked for water-resistance by an authorized Hamilton agent each time the case is
opened.
Your watch is fitted with an automatic movement. The mechanism of the watch includes an oscillating rotor that
winds the mainspring via the movement of your wrist. The running reserve is approximately 46 hours. If
necessary, the watch may be rewound manually. The beauty of the inner working of the watch movement can
be admired through the transparent case back.
