Rule 11 On the Same Tack, Overlapped
Rule 16.1 Changing Course
Rule C7.2 All Penalties
Rule C7.3(d) Penalty Limitations
Rule C8.3 Penalties Initiated By Umpires
Question 1 Answer 1 |
Question 2
Would the answer be different if the Yellow had an outstanding penalty?
Answer 2
No. However, if Blue was given a red flag penalty under rule C8.3, this would
not offset Yellow’s outstanding penalty (C7.3(e)). Blue would have to
take her penalty as soon as reasonably possible and Yellow would still have
an outstanding penalty.
Question 3
Would the answer be different if the boats are getting closer to the finishing
line and Yellow has an outstanding penalty?
Answer 3
No. However, in this situation it is more likely that the conditions for a double
penalty are met.
If a double penalty has been signalled to Blue, the first penalty will offset
Yellow’s penalty (C.7.2(e)). Blue will not be recorded as finishing until
she completes her second penalty and then finishes (C7.2(d)).
