A presentation and discussion for Qualified Judges and Umpires
Rule 69 addresses misconduct by both sailors and support persons, and the RYA's advice is to initiate a rule 69 process 'sooner rather than later' so that misconduct is addressed before it develops into a more serious issue. A rule 69 investigation and hearing follow a different process from all other hearings, and when correctly followed lead to simpler and less emotional hearings.
This session explains the 4-stage procedure, associated RYA Guidance, penalty ranges, guidelines for deciding a penalty, and how they might be best applied in some typical cases.

Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. Those words will be familiar to many as the opening sentence of the RYA’s recommended risk statement for Notices of Race, but what does it actually mean? This session will also discuss the expectations on all of us who are organising, delivering, or officiating at events, ensuring everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.
