Rule 30.4 in the Racing Rules of Sailing may be called the ”Black Flag Rule,” but it doesn’t have anything to do with pirates. What is this rule actually stating?
A) It’s sailing’s anti-doping code.
B) When possible, a boat shall avoid a boat that is capsized, has not regained control after capsizing, is anchored or aground, or is trying to help a person or vessel in danger.
C) Each boat is required to start, finish, and complete each mark rounding with the same competitors onboard.
D) Any boat over the line in the last minute before the starting signal is disqualified without a hearing.
