Pop-up Double Races:  Race committee can call a pop-up race whenever the winds are favorable. These races will be called by the race committee before the first boat crosses the finish line on a scheduled race, thus becoming a bonus race for that day.  The race committee will fly the “J” flag adjacent to the Red Start Flag (note flag at start of this paragraph), indicating that this will count towards the Jake series which is no longer part of the overall fleet championship.  It is the duty of the skipper and crew to re-identify the signals for the J Series Pop Up Race, Race Course Number, and Direction as wind conditions may have shifted.
