The Racing Rules of Sailing
RRS 60.2(a)(1) "...conspicuously display a red flag...
Question about displaying a red flag?
Is there anything that would prevent a boat from displaying a red flag from the start of the race until the end?
Reason: The boat now does not need to try to raise a red flag and only has to hail "protest".

- Would this be considered unsportsmanlike?
- Is there a rule against this?

I have a feeling that it has been found unsportsmanlike. However I think its probably rare for there to be a start sequence at which there are no incidents that one could raise a half credible protest for. Does rather emphasise what a nonsense the rule is though.
