Which rule says you can't hold on to the committee boat just before the start?
 
I ask because Rule 31 is deleted for windsurfers (in Appendix B) and I can't see any other rule that says you shouldn't touch a starting mark, so if you can touch it can you hold on to it?

31 TOUCHING A MARK

While racing, a boat shall not touch a starting mark before starting, a
mark that begins, bounds or ends the leg of the course on which she
is sailing, or a finishing mark after finishing.
Needs to sail more...

Hence the question can windsurfers hold the start mark, as rule 31 is deleted?

Sorry thought you were asking from a boat point of view. I couldn't give an answer about windsurfing, sorry.

Probably covered by rule 45, making fast. You are not allowed to be moored. Or if anchored you have to recover it and take it with you.

A variation for dinghies that I experienced last summer when the lake was horribly low. After capsizing just behind the starting line I discovered I could touch the bottom. Would I have been allowed to stand there holding my boat until the start?

45 HAULING OUT; MAKING FAST; ANCHORING

A boat shall be afloat and off moorings at her preparatory signal. Thereafter, she shall not be hauled out or made fast except to bail out, reef sails or make repairs. She may anchor or the crew may stand on the bottom. She shall recover the anchor before continuing in the race unless she is unable to do so.
