Course
Also called: Parcours, parcours, route, itinéraire
The route set by the organisers: start, marks to round, forbidden zones, finish.
The course is defined by the sailing instructions. Between marks, each boat picks its own route; that is what strategy is about. The map of each edition in the directory shows marks, gates and exclusion zones.
