At the start of a race, there is only one race official at the signals boat that is conducting the regatta. He sees one boat that he is convinced that that boat is on the course side. Does he have to provide any additional proof besides his testimony?

No. If they saw the boat OCS they need to promptly signal such (if applicable) and score them appropriately.

Unless there is a request for redress, however the RO scores the boats is how they are scored.

If there is a request for redress, the RO, in addition to giving his oral testimony, should be prepared to give the protest committee their written notes or records, starting sheet etc, and any voice or video recordings of the start.

The race committee will be a party to the protest and if they wish they can call any other witnesses, such as other boats, if that will help their case.
