Area J Appeals
Under the Racing
Rules of Sailing (RRS), it is possible to appeal the decision of a
protest committee per RRS 70.1. The procedure for this is set forth in
the US Sailing version of Appendix F of the RRS (US Sailing has adopted
a prescription that adopts an entirely new Appendix F that differs from
the ISAF version).
All appeals are to be sent directly to US Sailing. However, for appeals
from regattas held in Area J (see the map to the right) most appeals
will initially be assigned to the appeals committee for Area J. That
function is performed by the SCYA Appeals Committee. Decisions of the
SCYA Appeals Committee can then be appealed further to the US Sailing
Appeals Committee.
