If flag Z has been displayed, no part of a boat's hull shall be in the triangle
formed by the ends of the starting line and the first
mark
during the last minute
before her starting signal. If a boat breaks this rule and is indentified, she shall
recieve, without a hearing, a 20% Scoring Penalty calculated as stated in
rule 44.3(c).
She shall be penalized even if the race is restarted or resailed, but
not if it is
postponed
or
abandoned
before the starting signal. If she is similarly
indentified during a subsequent attemp to start the same race, she shall receive
an additional 20% Scoring Penalty.
