11. Penalties

11.1 A boat in class 0,1, 2,5 and 6 that may have infringed a rule of
Part 2 of RRS while racing may take a time penalty of 2% of her
elapsed time unless she has caused injury or damage or gained a
significant advantage in which case she will retire. The boat shall
display a yellow flag and comply with the requirements of RRS 44.3.
This changes RRS 44.2
11.2 The notation “DP” in a rule in Sailing Instructions means that
the penalty for a breach of that rule may, at the discretion of the
Protest Committee, be less than disqualification.

12. Time limits

12.1 The time limit for all classes is 18.30 Saturday and Sunday 17:30 all
other days with the exception of the Town Cup races, which has no

12.2 Boats finishing after 18.30 Saturday and Sunday 17:30 all other
days, may find that the Race Officer has replaced the Committee Boat

writing together with the sail number and name of any boat finishing
before and after to the Race Office by 08.30 the next day.
