Appendix B — Windsurfing Fleet Racing Rules

Add to rule 63.4:

However, for an elimination series race that will qualify a board to compete in a later stage of an event, protests and requests for redress need not be in writing; they shall be made orally to a member of the protest committee as soon as reasonably possible following the race. The protest committee may take evidence in any way it considers appropriate and may communicate its decision orally.

Rule 63.5(d) is changed to:

• (d) If the protest committee is in doubt about a matter concerning the measurement of a board, the meaning of a class rule, or damage to a board, it shall refer its questions, together with the relevant facts, to an authority responsible for interpreting the rule. In making its decision, the committee is bound by the authority’s reply.

Add to rule 63.6(b):

This rule does not apply to a race in an elimination series that will qualify a board to compete in a later stage of an event.
