Related question from a competitor's perspective. Please let me know if I should create another thread for this, and I'll do so.
Do we satisfy rule if 60.2(a) on a boat longer than 6 meters if we:- Say the word "protest";
- Then a couple of seconds later reach into my lifejacket and hold up a red flag measuring 6x4 inches / 15x10 cm above my head for 5 seconds;
- Tuck the edge of the flag into the back of my baseball cap and leave it there until the end of the race?
I'm asking since:- I'm doing mainsheet and tactics on a keelboat and want to be prepared.
- Owners don't make it a priority to install a protest flag deployment system. They should, but in reality they don't, so we need a workaround.
- We're racing in windy conditions in fast-moving tactical situations, so we need something with minimal distraction. For those familiar with the venue, think of short-tacking up the San Francisco cityfront.
Seems like it meets the criteria: there's no specified flag size, holding the flag up is conspicuous, and wearing the flag on the back of my neck is also conspicuous.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.Al Sargent Today 21:27 -
Thanks so much, Mark. It's good to have these when racing outside the US, in order to have more credibility.Al Sargent Today 21:11

Time to re-read RRS 11 and the definition of keep clear, plus RRS 14.
11 a) W kept clear of L, as L was able to sail her course with no need to take avoiding action.
11 b) W kept clear of L, as L could change her course in both directions without immediately making contact.
14 b) L caused contact between boats.Philip Hubbell Today 17:15 -
Thank you Paul for the change. And thank you all for the helpful suggestions.Richard Reitmeyer Today 01:24

We have had this come up a few times at our club and have defined the winner of the trophy/prize/money as the person who entered the boat and paid the entry fee.
- A Club enters a boat, and the boat wins the prize, the club takes the prize.
- A skipper enters a boat, and the boat wins the skipper takes the prize.
- A sponsor enters a boat, and the boat wins the sponsor takes the prize. etc
It is a good idea to set this out in NOR so that it is clear, especially when there is a large sum of money riding on the prize.Anthony Howes Yesterday 16:41
