Rule C2.13 (23.3), Interfering with Another Boat
Rule C6, Protests and Requests for Redress by Boats

Question

Yellow and Blue are in one match with Yellow ahead of Blue. Blue sees an incident between Yellow and Green (a boat in the match ahead) in which Yellow seems to be breaking a rule of Part 2. Green does not display flag Y. What action can Blue take?

Answer

None. Rules C6.1(a) and C6.2(b) prevent Blue from protesting Yellow by displaying flag Y because she was not involved in the incident.

Rule C6.1(b) prevents Blue from protesting Yellow by displaying a red flag.
