Rules Disputes – What to do
The best way of dealing with incidents (rules disputes) on the water, if no boat takes a penalty at the time, is to offer a choice of:
(i) an ADVISORY HEARING
(ii) a PROTEST HEARING
See the ChiFed guideline here.
The aim is to encourage everyone to follow The Racing Rules of Sailing.
