are converging both boats must keep clear
INCLUDING the right of way boat. Below is ISAF's
Ten Racing Rule Commandments:
1) Port keeps clear of
starboard.
2) Windward keeps clear of
leeward.
3) The boat astern keeps
clear of the boat ahead.
4) A boat Tacking or
Jibing keeps clear of one that is not.

inspection by XS Racing to ensure conformity to
the applicable class rules, bylaws and/or
measurement certificates.
2.4 Performance Handicap

with respect to the shifting of that ballast.

Prescribes:
(a) A boat that retires
from a race or accepts a penalty does not, by

committee or US SAILING appeal authority shall

rules is to prevent contact between boats. By
participating in an event governed by the rules,

monetary damages resulting from contact with
other boats.

15. Protests and Request for Redress
Note: The Border Run
organizers would prefer to party with the racers
than to hear protests after a tough overnight
international yacht race. The starting line is
roomy, the ocean is big and the race is long.
Avoid collisions and obey the sailing rules.
If there is a collision, take down the sail
number of the colliding boat or boats, and when
you hit dry land, exchange phone numbers and let
the insurance companies handle it. The Border
Run organizers want this event to be a
competitive, fun race
not a disgruntled,
argumentative trial. Summary: Race hard, sail
fair, and leave it on the water. Stay clear of
protest situations. If you can't, read below
for the process:
15.1 If you decide to
protest, competitors will first be subject to
arbitration, but be prepared to miss the party
and put up a $300 arbitration deposit that will
be donated to the Leukemia Cup. Your choice!
15.2 Arbitration will
commence no later than 3 pm, Saturday, at SDYC.
It is the responsibility of each boat to check
the Official notice board at the Border Run
event at the SDYC and be properly prepared to
attend the hearing in a timely manner.
15.3 Arbitration: an
Arbitration hearing will be held and are lodged
pursuant to the sailing instructions. One
representative from each boat will testify
before an Arbitrator. No witnesses shall be
allowed.
15.4 After the testimony
of each representative, the Arbitrator shall
reach one of the following conclusions:
A) There was no breach of
a rule. the protest is withdrawn and cannot be
reopened.
B There was a breach of a
rule by one or more of the boats involved. The
penalty will be either of the option of
accepting a 40% alternative penalty (calculated
as in Rule 44.3 (c)) or alternate time penalty
to be determined by the Arbitrator. If the
penalty is accepted, the matter cannot be
reopened or made the subject of a redress
request.
15.5 Redress - The Race
Committee will consider an appropriate time
allowance for time lost while aiding a vessel in
distress. When stopping to aid another boat or
crew from another boat, note the time when your
forward progress has ended. When you begin to
progress towards the next mark, note the time
for possible redress. Motoring is permitted in
the aid of a distressed boat or crew. Redress
for altercations with other racing yachts will
only be awarded in extreme cases.
16. Scoring
16.1 Scoring will be
according to RRS A 4.1 Low Point System
17. Retirements
17.1 A yacht that retires
from a race shall attempt to notify the
