DND?It's one of my personal favorites. I have no big problem when people break rules when its unavoidable, or sometimes when they don't know the rules. But when someone does to it gain advance or game the system, I pull out that baby.
WYC is pretty hardcore about this as well. Get stupid and you will likely see the PC add a RRS#2 to the protest form, and that makes the DSQ a DND. That will wreck your whole series.

There is one situation in which you could owe room to the barger...
If you have to alter course to squeeze out the barger... Do this while they can still tack away, cool, you defended your rights... But when u alter course you owe them room to keep clear... So if you wait until they can't tack without hitting the RC, then squeezing them is your foul.
There is no "proper course" prior to the start, so the important caveat is putting the other boat into the committee boat or you through course change, causing a collision. So communicate with the barger well ahead when you see the situation rising. "no room for you here"Like to add my 2 cents... Just so noone gets into trouble...

I’m EXTREMELY familiar with that oneYou didn’t define DFL.
The abbreviations that I listed were straight out of the RRS book. As far as I know, those are the only official entries that are supposed to appear on the score sheet. Is there another reference that I missed? The only DND that I know is a Canadian government agency.Both are valid. Mean the same thing,
You're in good company. Most of us have been there.I’m EXTREMELY familiar with that one
The committee boat you passed at 0:59, looks like it is flying 2 orange flags. Was that a mid line boat?...
No one is orange, the traditional on-station and starting line flag. The other is red and is the class start flag.The committee boat you passed at 0:59, looks like it is flying 2 orange flags. Was that a mid line boat?
