- C8.7
When the match umpires, together with at least one other umpire,
decide that a boat has broken
Rule 14
and damage resulted, they may
impose a points-penalty without a hearing. The competitor shall be
informed of the penalty as soon as practicable and, at the time of
being so informed, may request a hearing. The protest committee
shall then proceed under
rule C6.6
. Any penalty decided by the
protest committee may be more than the penalty imposed by the
umpires. When the umpires decide that a penalty greater than one
point is appropriate, they shall act under
rule C8.4
.
