RACE SIGNALS
Race Signals, X
CASE 31
When the correct visual recall signal for individual recall is made but the
required sound signal is not, and when a recalled boat in a position to hear
a sound signal does not see the visual signal and does not return, she is entitled
to redress. However, if she realizes she is over the line she must return and
start correctly.
INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR PREVENTING COLLISIONS AT SEA
CASE 38
The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS) are
intended to ensure the safety of vessels at sea by precluding situations that
might lead to collisions. When the IRPCAS right-of-way rules replace the rules
of Part 2, they effectively prohibit a right-of-way boat from changing course
towards the boat obligated to keep clear when she is close to that boat.
CASE 109
The IRPCAS or government right-of-way rules apply between boats that are racing
only if the sailing instructions say so, and in that case all of the Part 2
rules are replaced. An IRPCAS or government rule may be made to apply by including
it in the sailing instructions or in another document governing the event.
