Part 4
OTHER REQUIREMENTS WHEN RACING
(g) (h)
Any means of propulsion may be used to help a person or another vessel in danger. To get clear after grounding or colliding with a vessel or object, a boat may use force applied by her crew or the crew of the other vessel and any equipment other than a propulsion engine. However, the use of an engine may be permitted by rule 42.3(i). Sailing instructions may, in stated circumstances, permit propulsion using an engine or any other method, provided the boat does not gain a significant advantage in the race.
