Amendment to Rule of Boat racing Number 13
Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 9:43PM
The Annual General Meeting of the Hants & Dorset ARA, held on 9th March, 2013 approved a change to a Rule of Boat Racing - number 13 - which now reads as follows -
13. - If the umpire has disqualified a crew or is otherwise dissatisfied with the proper conduct of a race he shall hoist a red flag at the end of the race in which case the judges shall make no announcement of the result until the decision of the umpires has been notified to them. An umpire will only hoist a red flag during the race if he wishes to stop the race. [Amended March, 2013].
The rule change clarifies when a red flag should be used to stop a race - and brings the rule in-line with current practise.
