• "Rules Governing the Duration of Flag D Display Ashore Before Start"
  Thank you Roger.
  
  The RYA legal advice is a wonderful resource, but it is voluminous.
  
  I quite understand how RRS 3 may not work for persons under age.
  
  Could you point me towards the exact document that says 'personally legally responsible'.
  
  I"m still very interested in the answer to Lawnin's question
  
  

   How do you know which countries hold the RO legally responsible when boats are not racing? 

  
  What are the criteria you use to assess the obligations in different national jurisdictions?
  
  Can you briefly tell us what (sorts of) national jurisdictions have different (sorts of) obligations?

  Jim .. interesting question. Let me turn it around to you.
  
  Who is going to change the score?
  Based on what rule?
  
  Answer:  Boat X reports to the PC that they took a penalty for breaking RRS 12. The PC can now protest Boat X, because it's a report from Boat X representative. RRS 60.4(b)(3). 
  
  Further question is whether there is a rule that allows the PC to take the penalty report from X and turn that into a direction to the RC to change Y's score without a hearing?

  Warren,  see John's response to this. He meant 60.4(b) and (c). 

  
  Yup.  fixed in my previous post.

  Niko,
  
  You suggested:
  
  "Gotcha. Since they all have handicaps, would you consider scoring them based on their adjusted average speed over the night? Basically handicapping the whole fleet against each other.
  To me, that seems more fair than comparing them based on the place they finish within their fleet of completely different competitors."
  
  I like your suggestion and I plan to run some tests vs the method I have been using around the Most Competitive Fleet.
  
  Thank you.
