Appendix C MATCH RACING RULES (b) When a boat taking a penalty either does not take the penalty correctly or does not complete the penalty as soon as reasonably possible, she is no longer taking a penalty. The umpires shall signal this as required by rule C5.6. The umpire boat for each match shall display blue or yellow flags or shapes, each flag or shape indicating one outstanding penalty. When a boat has taken a penalty, or a penalty has been cancelled, one flag or shape shall be removed, with the appropriate sound signal. Failure of the umpires to signal correctly shall not change the number of penalties outstanding. (c) C8 C8.1 PENALTIES INITIATED BY UMPIRES Rule Changes (a) Rules 60.2(a) and 60.3(a) do not apply to rules for which penalties may be imposed by umpires. (b) Rule 64.1(a) is changed so that the provision for exonerating a boat may be applied by the umpires without a hearing, and it takes precedence over any conflicting rule of this appendix. C8.2 When the umpires decide that a boat has broken rule 31, 42, C4, C7.3(c) or C7.3(d) she shall be penalized by signalling her under rule C5.2 or C5.3. However, if a boat is penalized for breaking a rule of Part 2 and if she in the same incident breaks rule 31, she shall not be penalized for breaking rule ?K??\?\?[?KH??]]\?^\?[?[????X??Y???\???\?^HH???X??Y??[?H?\??Y?[H[??]?[?[???[?]H????X?H\????Y??H?Z[??[?[^?Y ??[?H[\\?\?X?YH]H??]\?
