Any yacht having cause to protest shall promptly hail the protested yacht and inform the Race Committee at the finish line. Protests, submitted on forms available at the Club, shall be presented to the Race Committee within 30 minutes of their arrival at the Club dock after the race, or they will not be accepted. Protest hearings will generally be on the same day following the deadline for filing protests. The 720 turn penalty of RRS 44.2 will apply. A yacht that has accepted an alternative penalty should so report to the Race Committee at the first opportunity after finishing, and provide the sail number of the yacht infringed.
A yacht touching any mark of the course while racing shall get well clear of other yachts as soon as possible and make one 360 degree turn, RRS 31.2.
A yacht rounding or passing a mark on the wrong side must correct this error before finishing as required by RRS 28.1.
