Recently there was a damaging collision in the starting area of races being run by a local sailing club. Boat X was on starboard and was T-boned by boat Y which was on port. Both boats were intending to race, but in different classes. Boat Y's class had started their starting sequence, whereas Boat X's class had not.
Subsequently Boat X sank.
Any views as to what RRS rules should apply, what racing penalties could be applied, and who should pay for the damage?
