Loïc regarding A5.1 ..
Finish is part of Sailg the Course. A boat that has not finished has not sailed the course. It's A5.1(a).Sail the Course A boat sails the course when
(a)she starts;
(b)a string representing her track until she finishes, when drawn taut,
(1)passes each mark of the course for the race on the required side and in the correct order (including the starting marks),
(2)touches each mark designated in the sailing instructions to be a rounding mark, and
(3)passes between the marks of a gate from the direction of the course from the previous mark; and then
(c)she finishes.Angelo Guarino Today 18:43 -
A lot of chat for a rather simple case.
To me... there are 2 halves to OPs question...
1st half - was Red racing? Yes. Her stern was still on the finish line when she broke rule 10.
2nd half - Did Red tack and gybe in accordance with 44.2...namely 'promptly' after the incident? This question is subject to the protest system, just like any other allegation of a breach of a rule not exonerated.
So the RC registers her second crossing i.a.w. Finish (a), and if anyone (RC or another boat) is unhappy about it, they can protest her for not exonerating 'promptly'. Otherwise her 2nd crossing finish stands.
-------------------------
As for the r23.1 discussion, Racing is a time-block from time-a to time-b. Once you pass time-b it's over. You can't restart. If Red had met the interpretation of Case 127, then she was past time-b. Not racing.
If a boat not racing breaks a rule, then apply RRS 60.5(c)
If a boat has broken a rule when not racing, her penalty shall apply to the race sailed nearest in time to the incident.
What am I missing?Benjamin Harding Today 09:07 -
Yes you can only postpone before the start. You can do it in the last second.
You start when the flag is removed so, if this had a few seconds delay, the start would be late but there is the posability of postponment.
Just follow the procedure and be practical.Michael Butterfield Yesterday 15:05 -
But, unless I am misreading the original post, the “restricted finish” in this case is 2/3 of the way up the course and nowhere near the starting area. The only boats playing in that area are the 18s and the H16s would only be there when finishing. So, again, I’ll ask, what issue are we trying to resolve by restricting this finish?Eric Rimkus Tue 14:53
