John Ball Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 The new 2017 – 2020 edition of the World Sailing Case book is now available for download.http://www.sailing.org/documents/caseandcall/case-book.phpThere are a number of new cases in the this edition, starting with Case 132 . They all make interesting reading especially for anyone who may be part of a Protest Committee. Here I will touch on just three of them.Case 138 helps the Protest Committee determine when to apply Rule 2 or Rule 69. CASE 138Rule 2, Fair SailingRule 69, MisconductGenerally, an action by a competitor that directly affectsthe fairness of the competition or failing to take anappropriate penalty when the competitor is aware ofbreaking a rule, should be considered under rule 2. Anyaction, including a serious breach of rule 2 or any otherrule, that the committee considers may be an act ofmisconduct should be considered under rule 69.Rule 69 is always a serious matter. For this edition of the RRS, there is a change in Rule 69 that now allows for a variety of punishments, and Case 139 provides assistance.CASE 139Rule 69.2(j), Misconduct: Action by a Protest CommitteeExamples illustrating when it would be ‘appropriate’ underrule 69.2(j)(3) to report a rule 69 incident to a nationalauthority or World Sailing.Case 140 is very interesting as it covers the options when a boat is forced over early by another boat that is breaking a Rule of Part 2 – (eg a stbd tack boat goes over the line avoiding a Port tack boat) when Rule 30.3 U Flag, or R 30.4 Black Flag is in effect. It describes how the fouled boat may behave in order to obtain redress. This case makes a strong argument for the Race Committee to select the use of the U flag option over the Black Flag option. This one is a 'Must Read'.CASE 140Rule 30.3, Starting Penalties: U Flag RuleRule 30.4, Starting Penalties: Black Flag RuleRule 62.1, RedressRule 64.1(b), Decisions: Penalties and ExonerationHow the rules apply when a boat is compelled to cross thestarting line by another boat that was breaking a rule ofPart 2.John John BallIOM CAN 307 (V8)In my private capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
