Options for this course include (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) increasing or decreasing the number of laps, deleting the last windward leg, varying the interior angles of the triangle (45º–90º–45º and 60º–60º–60º are common), using a gate instead of a leeward mark for downwind legs, using an offset mark at the beginning of downwind legs, and using the leeward and windward marks as starting and finishing marks.
Be sure to specify the interior angle at each mark.
