Using the Discretionary Penalty Policy, a starting penalty of 5% was decided for CZE 1605, CZE 1633 and NED 777 calculated to the nearest tenth of a point, (0.05 to be rounded upward), but not worse than the score for DNF.
The penalty for CZE 1605 was decreased to 3%  because she reported her breach promptly after finishing and the breach was accidental.
There were no facts to justify increasing or decreasing the penalty for the boats CZE 1633 and  NED 777
All above penalties apply to race N 1.
