- This is a FRIENDLY series and your Race Committee would like this to continue. Avoid putting yourself in violation of the rules and if a situation arises, do your penalty and get on with racing. You can learn from your mistakes back on shore.
- That said, know your current CYA/ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS).
- A red protest flag must be flown and verbal notice of protest must be given to the other yachts involved as soon as possible after an incident occurs.
- Protest forms (available from the Race Committee) must be completed and presented to the Race Committee within 30 minutes of the docking of the Race Committee vessel.
- Any protest will be considered immediately after the race involved. If an acceptable decision can be reached by the parties involved, no further action will be taken. This would include withdrawal of the protest.
- If an acceptable decision cannot be reached, the protest will be heard by a pro tem committee of 3, drawn up by the Race Fleet Captain or by the Rear Commodore.
