RADIO SAILING RACING RULES - Changes from 1st January 2021.

Appendix E.

E4.3 Taking a Penalty.

Rule 44.1 is changed to:

A boat may take a One-Turn Penalty when she may have broken one or more rules of Part 2, or rule 31, in an incident while racing.

However,

(a) when she may have broken a rule of Part 2 and rule 31 in the

same incident she need not take the penalty for breaking rule 31;

(b) if the boat gained an advantage in the heat or race by her breach despite taking a penalty, her penalty shall be additional One-Turn Penalties until her advantage is lost;

(c) if the boat caused serious damage, or as a result of breaking a

rule of Part 2 she caused another boat to become disabled and

retire, her penalty shall be to retire.
