Appendix D
TEAM RACING RULES
D1.2
Protests and Requests for Redress (a) Rule 60.1 is changed to: A boat may (a) protest another boat, but not for an alleged breach of a rule of Part 2 unless she was involved in the incident or the incident involved contact between members of the other team; or request redress.
(b) (b) (c)
Rule 61.1(a) is changed so that a boat may remove her red flag after it has been conspicuously displayed. A boat intending to request redress for an incident in the racing area shall display a red flag at the first reasonable opportunity after the incident. She shall display the red flag until it is acknowledged by the race committee or by an umpire. The race committee or protest committee shall not protest a boat for breaking a rule of Part 2 or rule 31 or 42 except (1) (2) based on evidence in a report from an umpire after a black and white flag has been displayed; or under rule 14 upon receipt of a report from any source alleging damage or injury.
(d)
(e)
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. A boat is not entitled to redress based on damage or injury caused by another boat on her team. When a supplied boat suffers a breakdown, rule D5 applies.
(f) (g) D1.3
Penalties (a) Rule 44.1 is changed to: A boat may take a One-Turn Penalty when she may have broken one or more rules of Part 2, or rule 31 or 42, in an incident while racing. However, when she may have broken a rule of Part 2 and rule 31 in the same incident she need not take the penalty for breaking rule 31.
