Thanks.
KC(a) - not met.
KC(b) - met/unknown?
=Did not keep clear.
R14 - insufficient distance was the cause.
Notes:
1. Some people wrongly believe that if KC(b) is met it's enough to say W kept clear. However KC(a) must also be met. The two are connected with 'and'. If either one is not met, the boat did not keep clear. My issue is not with KC(b). It's immaterial if KC(a) is not met.
I'm saying that KC(a) was not met.
2. Dropping the sheet is never a problem if the distance is sufficient between the boats. Insufficient distance caused 'dropping the sheet' to be problematic. Insufficient distance caused the contact. Not dropping the sheet.
3. KC(a) - Think of 'need to take avoiding action' as the trigger here. (See above.)
(W failed to keep clear of L, as L was able to sail her course but had need to take avoiding action while doing so.
In fact, to resolve that need to take avoiding action, L would have had to bear away. So effectively, she could not 'sail her course'.)Benjamin Harding Today 01:57 -
Related question from a competitor's perspective. Please let me know if I should create another thread for this, and I'll do so.
Do we satisfy rule if 60.2(a) on a boat longer than 6 meters if we:- Say the word "protest";
- Then a couple of seconds later reach into my lifejacket and hold up a red flag measuring 6x4 inches / 15x10 cm above my head for 5 seconds;
- Tuck the edge of the flag into the back of my baseball cap and leave it there until the end of the race?
I'm asking since:- I'm doing mainsheet and tactics on a keelboat and want to be prepared.
- Owners don't make it a priority to install a protest flag deployment system. They should, but in reality they don't, so we need a workaround.
- We're racing in windy conditions in fast-moving tactical situations, so we need something with minimal distraction. For those familiar with the venue, think of short-tacking up the San Francisco cityfront.
Seems like it meets the criteria: there's no specified flag size, holding the flag up is conspicuous, and wearing the flag on the back of my neck is also conspicuous.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.Al Sargent Yesterday 21:27 -
Thanks so much, Mark. It's good to have these when racing outside the US, in order to have more credibility.Al Sargent Yesterday 21:11

Thank you Paul for the change. And thank you all for the helpful suggestions.Richard Reitmeyer Yesterday 01:24

We have had this come up a few times at our club and have defined the winner of the trophy/prize/money as the person who entered the boat and paid the entry fee.
- A Club enters a boat, and the boat wins the prize, the club takes the prize.
- A skipper enters a boat, and the boat wins the skipper takes the prize.
- A sponsor enters a boat, and the boat wins the sponsor takes the prize. etc
It is a good idea to set this out in NOR so that it is clear, especially when there is a large sum of money riding on the prize.Anthony Howes Thu 16:41
