Question 1 |
Question 2
Is there a required side of the finishing line to complete penalty turns?
Answer 2
No. The only requirement is that after the penalty is completed, the boat must
sail completely on the course side of the finishing line before she crosses
the finishing line to finish. See diagram.
Question 3
May a boat that has to take a penalty turn sail round a finishing mark while
executing the penalty turn?
Answer 3
Yes. No rule prohibits this and her course still complies with rule 28.1. However
she must complete the penalty before she re-crosses the finishing line to finish.
Question 4 |

A boat completes a penalty when, if she gybes first, she reaches a close-hauled course after tacking, or, if she tacks first, her mainsail fills on the new side after gybing.
