The sailing instructions included language addressing U Flag Rule and Post-Race Penalties.
SI 1 RULES - U Flag Rule - If flag U [2 white and 2 red offset squares] has been displayed as the preparatory signal, no part of a boat?s hull, crew or equipment shall be in the triangle formed by the ends of the starting line and the first mark during the last minute before her starting signal. If a boat breaks this rule and is identified, she shall be disqualified without a hearing, but not if the race is restarted or re-sailed. This changes RRS 26, A5, and A11.
SI 14 PENALTY SYSTEM
Rule 44.1 is changed to permit a boat that has broken a rule of Part 2 or rule 31 to take a penalty after racing but prior to any protest hearing. Her penalty shall be a scoring penalty as calculated in rule 44.3(c) equal to 40% of the number of entries in her class or 50% of the difference between her finishing position and the number of entries in her class, whichever is less. However, if she caused injury or serious damage or gained a significant advantage in the race or series by her breach, her penalty shall be to retire.
The RC utilized the U Flag 3 times and only a single competitor utilized a post-race penalty.
