76 EXCLUSION OF BOATS OR COMPETITORS
76.1 The organizing authority or the race committee may reject or cancel
the entry of a boat or exclude a competitor, subject to rule 76.2,
provided it does so before the start of the first race and states the reason
for doing so. However, the organizing authority or the race committee
shall not reject or cancel the entry of a boat or exclude a competitor
because of advertising, provided the boat or competitor complies with
ISAF Regulation 20, Advertising Code.

78 COMPLIANCE WITH CLASS RULES; CERTIFICATES
78.1 A boat’s owner and any other person in charge shall ensure that
the boat is maintained to comply with her class rules and that her
measurement or rating certificate, if any, remains valid.
78.2 When a rule requires a certificate to be produced before a boat races,
and it is not produced, the boat may race provided that the race
committee receives a statement signed by the person in charge that a
valid certificate exists and that it will be given to the race committee
before the end of the event. If the certificate is not received in time, the
boat shall be disqualified from all races of the event.

equipment does not comply with the class rules, he shall report the
matter in writing to the race committee, which shall protest the boat.

under rule 30.3, be entitled to sail the rescheduled race. New entries
that meet the entry requirements of the original race may be accepted
at the discretion of the race committee.
