Appendix P SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR RULE 42 P3 POSTPONEMENT, GENERAL RECALL OR ABANDONMENT If a boat has been penalized under rule P1 and the race committee signals a postponement, general recall or abandonment, the penalty is cancelled, but it is still counted to determine the number of times she has been penalized during the regatta. P4 REDRESS LIMITATION A boat shall not be given redress for an action by a member of the protest committee or its designated observer under rule P1 unless the action was improper due to a failure to take into account a race committee signal or a class rule. P5 FLAGS O AND R (a) If the class rules permit pumping, rocking and ooching when the wind speed exceeds a specified limit, the race committee may signal that those actions are permitted, as specified in the class rules, by displaying flag O no later than the warning signal. If the wind speed exceeds the specified limit after the starting signal, the race committee may display flag O with repetitive sounds at a mark to signal to a boat that the actions are permitted, as specified in the class rules, after she has passed the mark. If the wind speed becomes less than the specified limit after flag O was displayed, the race committee may display flag R with repetitive sounds at a mark to signal to a boat that rule 42, as changed by the class rules, applies after she has passed the mark.
