Page 107 - Misconduct a Reference for Race Officials

 Does the race committee wish a requirement not to return to apply only when a boat is
OCS at her starting signal, or when any part of a boat crosses the starting line in some
period (a minute?) before the starting signal (in which case, how is she to be notified of
this?).

 Any rule that is modified must be identified as such in the notice of race or in the sailing
instructions. This may include rules 28.1, 29.1, 63.1 and A4.2.

Race Management

It is not advisable to have an I Flag (rule 30.1), U Flag (rule 30.3) or a Black Flag (rule 30.4)
start when there is also an option or requirement for an OCS boat not to return to start, as
this could give rise to confusion.
