• REDRESS: ".....as fair an arrangement as possible...."
  Question about boat A penalty I can understand her score race one as RET. Does that also mean RET for the whole series while boat B is unable to sail? 
  We have often talked about this at the club with no definitive answer.
  
  Also under good sportsmanship why didn’t boat A offer to lend her rudder to boat B for the second race, as it’s one design class they should be interchangeable. 
  
  Thanks Nick

  To answer The original question, it depends if the Y flag is still flying. Or in the case argued elsewhere, if it is persistent after being lowered, unlike other signals.  But if for the sake of the argument, Y flag is up still, then they technically broke the rule, but it should not be enforced unless there were aggravating circumstances as it was after the time limit.

  Dustin ... thanks for that input. The standard language out of Vakaros overly-broadly denies R4R IMO (as the "no fault of their own" clause should take care of the vast majority of a boat's individual equipment issues). That's why in my OP I framed the question based on the assumption that R4R-restrictive language was not present. 
  
  Seems the consensus thus far is that errors/omission from systems, that perform an "RC function" and are implemented by the RC, map onto "improper action/omission of the [race] committee .." in RRS 61.4(a)(1) without further clarification needed in the race-docs. 
  
  That said, I think my suggestion of adding "system" to the term "Race Committee" would hurt anything.
