Video on the new US SAILING Prescriptions

On July 1, 2010, three new prescriptions took effect for people sailing in the US:

NEW PRESCRIPTION TO RULE 60 

US SAILING prescribes that when redress has been requested or is to be considered, any boat may participate in the hearing provided she makes a written request before the hearing begins. When she does so, the protest committee shall act under rule 60.3(b) to consider redress for her at that hearing.

NEW PRESCRIPTION TO RULE 63.2

US SAILING prescribes that when redress has been requested or is to be considered, the protest committee shall make a reasonable attempt to notify all boats of the time and place of the hearing and the nature of the request or the grounds for considering redress. Before holding the hearing, the committee shall allow reasonable time for boats to make written requests to participate.

NEW PRESCRIPTION TO RULE 63.4 

US SAILING prescribes that when practicable:

(a) no person who brings an incident to the attention of the protest committee or who will give evidence at the hearing shall be a member of the protest committee; and

(b) if a boat files a request for redress based on a protest committee decision, her request for redress shall be heard by a new committee that contains no members of the original committee.
