  • Justin said  If a Laser, L,  going upwind with the helmperson fully hiked, had the mainsheet explode at the transom, and the helm instead of letting his pfd displace in the water, tried to scramble into the boat such that the Laser heeled to windward almost capsizing to windward and the mast hit another competitor to windward. 

    Then  I would strongly recommend that L did some penalty turns. 

    What rule do you say L broke?

  • Richard, thank you for your open minded response, but i agree with Sue that relaxing the promptness of the hail and RRS 44 penalty requirements would be undesirable.

    One of the purposes of the suggestion was to reinforce the requirements for prompt hail and prompt response.

    If you let go of those requirements you will get into all sorts of disputes about:
    • what incident the hail referred to,
    • whether the hailed boat ever took a penalty for that incident, and
    • whether there was advantage.

  • AIUI the purpose of making the respondent (not a word in this RRS) field mandatory is that the system automatically messages that entity that they are the subject of a hearing.  Naming a boat there will make it appear that that boat has been protested.

    Wouldn't a better solution for requests fo  redress be to either omit the respondent field or make it non mandatory, and message the race committee that a request has been received in every case?
