COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC SAFETY
A3.1 As stated in the RRS preamble to the Part 2 rules, when a boat is sailing under these rule meets a vessel that is not, she shall comply with the Internationnal Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS) or government right of way rules. This supplements, but does not replace the rules of Part 2.
A3.2 If a commercial vessel has sounded five blasts, and/or the vessel or the Coast Guard identifies an offending boat, the Race Committee shall protest the boat, in which case the Protest Committee shall assume that the identified boat has impeded passage or violated the U.S. Inland Navigation Rules, and the identified boat shall have the burden of proving otherwise. In the case of a complaint by Vessel Traffic or the Coast Guard, the protest time limit shall be extended up to two days after the conclusion of the regatta. This changes RRS 60.2(a) and 61.3.
A3.3 A Race Committee boat may signal a boat to alter course to avoid impeding the passage of commercial vessels by making a sound signal (horn or whistle) and pointing Code Flag V at the boat. The signaled boat shall promptly comply with the signal unless compliance would create an unsafe condition. If a boat fails to comply with such a signal, the Race Committee shall protest the boat, in which case the Protest Committee shall assume that the course alteration would not have created an unsafe condition, and the protested boat shall have the burden of proving otherwise.
A3.4 A boat may be penalized independently under SI A3.1, A3.2, and/or A3.3. As prescribed in RRS 44.1, violation of any part this attachment shall not be exonerated by a &ldquoturns&rdquo or Scoring Penalty, and the penalty will be at the discretion of the jury. The StFYC shall cooperate with and provide relevant information to the Coast Guard or other governmental authority regarding investigations of boats impeding ship traffic or violating Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR 83).&rdquo
