Question 3
The situation is as in question 2, except that there are clearly two incidents
between B and Y, one immediately after the other. Immediately after the second
incident, both boats hail each other and promptly display a red flag. B then takes
a One-Turn penalty. When B has finished her penalty, both boats display a
yellow flag and hail ‘Umpire’. Does that change the call?
Answer 3
Yes. The umpires will decide each incident separately. Depending on what the
umpires decide on each of the two incidents, and on which boat, if any, broke a
rule, they will decide whether to penalize any boat, taking into consideration that
B has taken a single penalty.
