Feedback on RCU Buoy Rule
The current RCU buoy rule states "A one-lap penalty shall be assessed when a boat cuts inside a course marker or when
more than 50% of a boat jumps inside/over a buoy. No penalty shall be assessed to a
boat that touches a buoy on the outside causing no damage or displacement."
more than 50% of a boat jumps inside/over a buoy. No penalty shall be assessed to a
boat that touches a buoy on the outside causing no damage or displacement."
The RCU Board is seeking member feedback whether we should keep the rule as it is or change the rule to assess a penalty if a buoy is cut, struck or dislodged. All of the boat must pass to the outside of the course buoy without touching it.
