Not being familiar with the minutia of racing rules, hypothetical question but could have arisen recently on an offshore race. I realise Racing Rules of sailing can be amended in sailing instructions but would be interested to know how SI's might be written to accommodate the situation.
1) Is redress available for time lost giving assistance a vessel in distress?
2) Would distress have to be indicated by the vessel in distress for redress to be applicable?
3) Let's assume a yacht is in the lead and then unable to finish due to rendering assistance, can redress of any kind be applied?
