Facts found:
Three seconds after the starting signal of race 7, the Race Committee signalled a General Recall by displaying the First Substitute flag with two sound signals. HUN, starting at the pin end of the starting line, which was 150m in length, did not see or hear the signal and kept sailing.Approximately 3 minutes after the General Recall was signalled, the Race Committee noticed that 5 boards continued to sail to mark 1. Immediately after this, the Race Committee Mark 1 vessel displayed the November flag to those 5 boards. HUN and the other boards returned to the starting area. HUN was at the Race Committee vessel at the time of the warning signal for the restart of race 7. HUN was in time for the starting signal of the restart of race 7 and sailed the race.
Conclusion:
The Race Committee signalled the General Recall by displaying the First Substitute flag with two sound signals in accordance with RRS 29.2.Hence, there was neither an improper action nor improper omission of the Race Committee. Therefore, the requirements for redress in RRS 61.4(b)(1) are not met.
