Determining an appropriate redress when the score includes both qualifier and final series

Consideration of Redress under 62.1(b) when the specific type of damage is not uncommon in a class and anticipated in the class rules.

When the race office is not available anymore, delivering the protest to the organizing authority meets the requirements of rule 63.1.

In sailing events that do require World Sailing Eligibility, a competitor from a country which does not have a member national authority may only compete if the Board has waived the requirements listed in regulations 19.4(a) and 19.4(b).

While racing but before starting, a boat shall not touch a starting mark. From the moment the boat starts, the starting mark begins the leg of the course on which she is sailing and she shall not touch it. While the boat is sailing on the last leg and until she finishes, the finishing mark ends the leg from the previous mark to the finish and she shall not touch it.

Rule  18.4 will apply at the finish line provided that the inside overlapped right-of-way boat must gybe to sail her proper course.

It is not recommended to include legislation, protocols or guidance from external authorities in an event’s rules, as breaches of such legislation are outside the jurisdiction of event officials and are subject to changes at short notice.

The word 'Improper' in the rule modifies the word 'Omission.'

Interpretation of ‘shall not cause’ in rule 18.3.

While a boat is sailing in or near the racing area and intends to race, the race committee vessel is not sailing under the Racing Rules of Sailing, therefore, according to the Part 2 preamble, the boat shall comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS)
