The latest World Sailing Case book contains a new case Case 140 which covers an incident on the start line when 30.3 or 30.4 are in effect. However the wording of Appendix E 3.7 prevents radio sailing from applying the benefits covered in Case 140.
I have written a summary of the situation attached, together with a solution which the regatta organiser may apply to fix the problem.
Watching the Youtube feeds for the North American Continental Championship regatta, I noticed that the Black Flag was used for some starts, so this may be timely.
