Thanks Guys

May be my question got side tracked with rule 14 totally valuable points .

I am after the sailing meaning for term "No fault of your own" for redress and along the lines what standard of proof? 
 
My 4am thinking is along the standard of proof like to win a protest you have "Balance of Probabilities" on your side say above 51%. However "No fault of your own" I would thought would be a lot higher like "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" but for the innocent, Thinking along the lines you are Beyond a Reasonable Doubt 0% at fault.

The NJ course in Australia did implied RRS standard of proof is "Balance of Probabilities" and Rule 69 "Comfortably Satisfied" and nothing else. but my gut feeling is "No fault of your own" at a different level again. 

Their for would it be possible that protest could be won in ones favor "Balance of Probabilities" but still in doubt about "No fault of your own" if her actions contributed, even partially, to the worsening of her score thus redress denied? 

Many thanks

David,  I just attach the connecting line to the top of the barging buoy.

Surely you don't need a barging buoy to prevent boats colliding with your tower?

Welcome Charlotte!  Happy to have your contribution.

As a retired IJ and IU my take is that Blue, being a fast reaching multi-hull, is on the cusp of breaking rule 17 at position 6.

I think that wording is quite workable, if that's what you want to do.
