At the Mark Madness regatta in michigan this past weekend, I came upon an interesting situation. The NOR stated that a gate would be used for the weekend racing. During the first downwind leg of the first race we were coming down to the gate but there was one problem. NO Gate existed! only one mark was placed. So if no gate is set, does a gate exist, or do you treat it as a typical C mark rounding?
