When delivered, a protest shall be in writing and identify the
protestor, the protestee, and the incident.
A protest shall be delivered to the race office (or by such other
method as stated in the sailing instructions) within the protest
time limit unless the protest committee decides there is good
reason to extend the time. The protest time limit is
for protests about an incident observed in the racing area,
two hours after the last boat in the race finishes, or
for other protests, two hours after the relevant
information is available to the protestor.
However, if the sailing instructions state a different protest
time limit, then that time limit applies instead.
