 After the end of the 1st day the result of that day will create a new ranking and the next day the same ranking and the next day the same ranking procedure will apply for the races of the 2nd day based on the their result position.

15.3 In addition to taking action in accordance with Appendix P, on the purpose to encourage the sailors to take the penalties on the water the Judges may display a red flag and make one sound signal without identifying any boat if they observe a Part 2 or Rule 31 infringement.

 18. SCORING

 18.1 Race scores:

 (a) Each race of two divisions will be scored as one race in which all competitors of those two divisions have entered.

 Allocation of points according to RRS A4.2 will consider that “the number of competitors entered in the series” is the maximum number of competitors after grouping the two largest divisions.

 (b) For overall scoring purposes, a race will be defined as ONE COMPLETED RACE FOR ALL 2 DIVISIONS in the sequential numbering of races in Attachment 3. (Example: Race 3 is not completed until all green and red have been completed.) Therefore only races that have been completed for all 2 divisions will count towards the overall scoring.

18.2 Series scores:

 (a) 3 races are required to be completed to constitute a series.

 (b) When 3 or fewer races have been completed, a boat’s series score will be the total of her race scores.

 (c) When 5 or 9 races have been completed, a boat’s series score will be the total of her race scores excluding her two worst scores.

 18.3 To request correction of an alleged error in posted races or series results, a boat shall complete a scoring enquiry form available at the Race Office. When the error concerns any of the first five races, instruction17.10 applies.

Flag B will be displayed when the last boat has finished the last race of the day or the race is abandoned. All team members will be penalized with 5 points for each race of the day on which the Coach or Team Leader failed to abide by this instruction (alteration of RRS 63.1) and there was no reason for failing.

 19.4 Competitors who require assistance should blow a whistle or wave the paddle or one arm. The Race Committee reserves the right to assist competitors who, in its opinion require assistance, regardless of the wishes of the competitor.

 Requests for substitution shall be made to the Race Committee at the first reasonable opportunity.
