"Damage' is discussed in Case 19.
Case 19 Question Is there a special meaning of “damage” in the racing rules? Answer No. It is not possible to define “damage” comprehensively, but one current English dictionary says “harm . . . impairing the value or usefulness of something.” This definition suggests questions to consider. Examples are:
So, no scratches or scuffs don't count. |

The alternate could be is there is a cost to put the vessel back into its previous state? In that case there is a los of value in a scratch as it would have a cost to remedy.
The point has been that particularly difficult with loaned boats. What is the point minor damage you may accept to your own boat, or older boats becomes a loss to correct. The owners usually make that decision, which may be later on than the incident. Also, damage, including significant structural damage, iis not always immediately apparent.

Andymck, you're quite right. There's a difference between a battered old club Laser, and somebodies inlaid mahogany beauty.
The approach used in MR, based on time to repair shown in Addendum E to the MR Standard SI may be helpful. https://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/2017WorldSailingStandardMatchRacingSaililngInstructionsJanuary2017-[21723">.docx Edited by Brass - 17 Sep 21 at 2:41pm |
