Infringements of RRS Part 2 – When Boats Meet

The offending boat must take a 720 degree turn as soon as they are able.

For Touching a Mark

The offending boat must take a 360 penalty turn.

Protests
We encourage all competitors to resolve protests on the water as quickly as possible.

If an offending boat does not extinguish the penalty then one boat may protest another by:

1. Flying a red protest flag
2. Advise the other boat they will be protested unless they take the penalty
3. Advise the Race Officer as soon as possible after finishing by VHF or text
4. Text or email a member of the Sailing Committee of your intention to protest and fill in a Protest Form together with $5 and submit to a member of the Sailing Committee within 2 hours of finishing the race.
