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.
