Notice of Race 2.5.2 Course penalties...RULE...The Entrant suffering a time penalty must then return south of that latitude (Penalty time starts) and NOT cross North again of it ( within 40 miles of the crossing longitude), until the time penalty has been served. The entrant may then make for the finish line.
Situation for JL VDH...
The 18 Hours MUST be spent below the Latitude at the time of official turn at 0010UTC 5th Dec. Unfortunately JL VDH has moved North of that line at approx. 0318UTC and is currently 1.8 miles North of that line at 0620UTC. Only 3hrs and 8 minutes of his time penalty has been served and the clock does not start again until he returns south of that line so he still has 14hrs and 52 minutes to serve. He has been advised of this situation. It is NOT the responsibility of GGR to monitor entrant position in real time but GGR may provide advice at any time. #GGR2018
Hij moet dus onder de lijn (20e breedtegraad) blijven en mag hem na 18 uur weer passeren binnen een afstand van 40 mijl van de lengtegraad waar hij de penalty begon. Hij hoeft dus niet stil te liggen.
In N.o.R 2.5.2 staat net voor het hierboven geciteerde stuk:
Time penalties allocated to an Entrant will be served in a Penalty Box (TBA in the sailing instructions) On crossing north of 45 degrees North latitude, the Entrant suffering a time penalty
Waar komt die 20e breedtegraad nu ineens vandaan?
