MCYRA Announcements
Discuss MCYRA use of arbitration as a method to settle on the water disputes at regattas run by the Class, and the Nationals: Suggested wording
An arbitration meeting will be held prior to the protest hearingfor all cases involving violations of RRS Part 2. After a protest form is delivered, one designated representative of each yacht will appear before one or more arbiters. Each representative shall be permitted no more than 5 minutes of testimony. Testimony from witnesses is not permitted After hearing the testimony of each representative, the arbiter(s) shall reach one of the following conclusions:
A. There was no breach of a rule. 1f the representatives agree, the protest is withdrawn and cannot be reopened 1f any representative disagrees, the matter is referred to the PC for a hearing.
B. There was a breach of a rule by one or more of the yachts involved that did not include injury or serious damage. The representative of each offending yacht has the option of 1) accepting a 40% alternative penalty (using the general approach ofRRS 44. 3 (c)) or; 2) submitting the matter to the PCfor a hearing. 1f the penalty is accepted, the matter cannot be reopened or made the subject of redress by the yachts that were party to the arbitration.
C. The matter should go to the PC for a hearing. This conclusion is mandatory in cases where the designated parties of the yachts involved disagree as to whether there was injury or serious damage resultingfrom the incident.
