well, the boat did, when informed of the intention to protest, dip the line and re-finish, and was given the second time not the first.... and still retained the exact position on handicap. The intent to protest was given by the 2 lasers that had just been nipped on the line by the enterprise, and were in danger of having their pride hurt. oh yes, and the water was cold. |

The boat has finished according to the definition; It has crossed the finish line in the direction the course from the last mark.
The RC must record her as such. She also has broken rule 47.2 as Stefan pointed out. But in order to loose that place someone - either another boat or the RC - must protest her for breaking that rule. Only the PC can score her worse. (RRS A5). Of course she should have sailed back to the course side and finished again, but as long as she's not protested her place should not be altered. |

Wait so it's actually written in the rules that you can leave the boat for a swim, so if it's an absolute drifter of a race on a hot day the crew could jump overboard as soon as you start then swim around the finish line to be picked up just before the boat finishes, anybody want to try that? |

I once pitchpoled round the last mark and finished the race with me and crew both onboard a capsized boat. Not only was I "finished" but the race officer and team came out of the hut with big course boards, marking me for "style". |

By strict reading of the rules, they proabably should have circled back to course side of the line and recrossed. However, I reckon the club should honour this incident in some way come prizegiving, as it sounds frickin funny

47.2 No person on board shall intentionally leave, except when ill or injured, or to help a person or vessel in danger, or to swim. A person leaving the boat by accident or to swim shall be back on board before the boat continues in the race.I don't think hanging onto the mainsheet counts as "back on board".
