   We're judges.  We take whatever guidance is available for what it's worth, and the World Sailing Judges Manual is worth quite a lot.
  
  See Calum's post.
  
  I'm not suggesting protesting a dead sailor, and I wouldn't expect an OA to want to do anything for other than an egregious breach.
  
  But if the headline runs 'Coastguard commander criticizes sailing club for not ensuring life jackets are worn' that's bringing the sport into disrepute.

  Thank you for your comments!
  This was a real case we had in Argentina at ILCA 6.
  Boat B went back to the club and didn't request redress, and the RO didn't take any action either.
  Boat A RET.
  
  Cheers !!!!!

  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.
