Description: Do I have to round a limit mark at the finish before I've finished? No — under Rule 28.1 and the definition Sail the Course, you finish the instant any part of your boat crosses the finish line. A limit mark sitting on the far side of the line doesn't begin, bound or end your last leg, so it has no required side — leave it either side. (World Sailing Case 58.)
