See rules 70.4 and 89(c). This appendix shall not be changed by sailing instructions or prescriptions of national authorities.

N1

COMPOSITION, APPOINTMENT AND ORGANIZATION

N1.1

An international jury shall be composed of experienced sailors with excellent knowledge of the racing rules and extensive protest committee experience. It shall be independent of and have no members from the race committee, and be appointed by the organizing authority, subject to approval by the national authority if required (see rule 89(c)), or by the ISAF under rule 87.2.

N1.2

The jury shall consist of a chairman, a vice chairman if desired, and other members for a total of at least five. A majority shall be International Judges. The jury may appoint a secretary, who shall not be a member of the jury.

N1.3

No more than two members (three, in Groups M, N and Q) shall be from the same national authority.

N1.4

  1. A jury of ten or more members may divide itself into two or more panels of at least five members each, of which the majority shall be International Judges. If this is done, the requirements for membership of a full jury shall apply to each panel but not to the jury as a whole.

  2. A jury of fewer than ten members may divide itself into two or more panels of at least three members each, of which the majority shall be International Judges. Members of each panel shall be from at least three different national authorities except in Groups M, N and Q, where they shall be from at least two different national authorities. If dissatisfied with a panel's decision, a party is entitled to a hearing by a jury composed in compliance with rules M1.1, M1.2 and M1.3, except concerning the facts found, if requested within the time limit specified in the sailing instructions.
