Rule D1.2: Protests and Requests for Redress

D1.2

Protests and Requests for Redress

(a) A boat may
(1) protest another boat, but her protest is invalid if it alleges a breach of a rule of Part 2 and she was not involved in the incident, unless the incident involved contact between boats on the other team (This changes rule 60.4(a)(2).);
(2) remove her red flag after it has been conspicuously displayed (This changes rule 60.2(a)(1).);
(3) request redress, but not for damage or injury caused by another boat on her team (This changes rule 61.1(a).).
(b) The race committee and protest committee shall not protest a boat for breaking a rule of Part 2 except
(1) based on evidence in a report from an umpire after a black and white flag has been displayed; or
(2) under rule 14 upon receipt of a report from any source alleging damage or injury.
(c) Protests and requests for redress need not be in writing. The protest committee may take evidence in any way it considers appropriate and may communicate its decision orally.
(d) When a supplied boat suffers a breakdown, rule D5 applies.
