(b) If a Crew suffers Broken Equipment after launching but prior to entering the Starting area, it shall stop rowing and immediately signal to the closest Race Official. The Race Official shall inspect the equipment for damage. If the Race Official determines that there is Broken Equipment, the Race Official shall communicate with both the Starter and Chief Referee to determine if the Crew will be able to race. (c) If a Crew suffers Broken Equipment after the starting commands but before it has left the Starting area, or 20 seconds has elapsed on courses where the Starting area is not clearly marked with different colored buoys, it may stop rowing and signal to the Referee. The Referee shall stop the Race as described in Rule 2-407(d) (“Referee’s Instructions to Crews”) and inspect the damage. If there is in fact Broken Equipment, the Race shall be restarted after the Crew has had sufficient time to make repairs. If there is no Broken Equipment, the Race may be restarted immediately, and the Referee may impose upon the offending Crew one of the penalties described in Rule 2-602 (“Types of Penalties”). (d) A Crew is deemed to have left the Starting area once its bow crosses the 100-meter mark. If a Crew attempts to claim Broken Equipment after it has left the Starting area and if the boat can still be operated safely, the Referee shall instruct it to continue rowing as described in Rule 2-407(c) (“Referee’s Instructions to Crews”).
