• Can a boat break RRS 2 while breaking RRS 23.1?
  Q1: I would say, conceivably, yes, it could (eg: perhaps Boat A is part of a team, and was doing so to help a fellow team-boat or to elevate or bolster their or its own standing etc). Such ‘intent’ not always so easy to prove though (in this case (2 and 23) – on a ‘balance of probabilities’ (preponderance of the evidence’; whereas, 69 uniquely requires “…the test of the ‘comfortable satisfaction’...”.
  
  

  Q2:  a boat could be competing (in a race or series of races) or anticipating to race (competing is not a [defined term] but has two references: 36 (a) and C9.2), but not racing (a [defined term]) at the given or particular time.

  Are we assuming 15 and 16.1 do not apply?

  Not really thought about it before but as expressed time on time allows for wind to some extent and i am used to this.
  
  I do work in an irc world and find other hanhicap systems complex and costly. And now with added penalties discredited. 
  
  Best to have one system.

  I must have been referring to the right subparagraph:  Jim understood.
  
  Fixed.

  Thanks John...even then with "...bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegation." (seriousness being the operative word), there is an educated [jurisdictional] assesssment of sorts to be made.
