The Officer of the Day will decide upon which is to be sailed on the morning of the Match. This decision is dependent on weather conditions and many other factors.
The longest course takes the barges round the Wallet Spitway Buoy (off Clacton).
The Outer Mark, where barges are judged for one of the trophies, will be the Inner Bench Head Buoy.
