Anybody know of a good description of how a rabbit start works?


Try this:

BTW I've never done one, in 30 years of racing. I suppose oyu need the
big fleets to make it worthwhile!


Actually it's mainly used when there aren't many boats participating.
Like when only three or four boats show up for racing and you don't want
to waste one by designating it as race committee. The point is that it
allows a "fair" start without any arguments about being over early.
