Appendix N — International Juries

An international jury is responsible for hearing and deciding all protests, requests for redress and other matters arising under the rules of Part 5. When asked by the organizing authority, the race committee or the technical committee, it shall advise and assist them on any matter directly affecting the fairness of the competition.

Unless the organizing authority directs otherwise, the jury shall decide

• (a) questions of eligibility, measurement or rating certificates; and
• (b) whether to authorize the substitution of competitors, boats or equipment when a rule requires such a decision.

The jury shall also decide matters referred to it by the organizing authority, the race committee or the technical committee.
