• REDRESS: ".....as fair an arrangement as possible...."
  If I read your post correctly, Boat B was unable to race any of the races in the series, so I don't see how to apply average points, since no race was completed. Is that a fair description of your situation?

• Safety Regulations
  Precisely,  The answer is not to use the policy as a blanket, but where appropriate. On long sails out, where visibility (line of sight wise) is not sufficient to watch the fleet safely in, it becomes a safety check. If it's "we've always done it in our YRA" then it's simply procedural memory and should be rethought. Either way the penalty is subject to hearing or discretion, (may be applied, can be appealed) that's pretty reasonable as you stated, once it was clear where those boats were and why the situation was resolved.  If the SIs state I have to notify the RC before I leave the racing area early to drop out, I have to do it, that's the rule. If I have to check in before racing, should I ask for redress if I forgot to do it? That's where I don't see where this rule should be different. If it's not needed, don't write it in, that's a conversation to have.

  Also if you want to get truly technical... Was "Y" still hoisted? Because if not the RC or protester would have a tough case enforcing it.

  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.
