The four questions Dave Perry uses to answer most protests:

1. Who, what, when & where?
   Different classes? What kind of boats? Are they windsurfers?
   Fleet racing? Match racing? Team racing?
   Before prep, during a race or perhaps after finishing?
   Near a mark, at the start or in a leg of the course? Near a shore or other obstructions?
   
   
2. Relationship of boats?
   ROW rules: one of four: 10 Port-Starboard/ 11 Windward-Leeward/ 12 Clear ahead - Clear astern/ 13 Tacking (one or both)
   
   
3. Limits - Obligations?
   Rules 14, 15, 16 and 17: limitations on ROW-boat and obligations on Keep-clear boat, or perhaps on both boats?
   
   
4. Action - what happened
   The actual positions of each boat leading up to, during and after the incident.
   

From the answers to these questions he draws a conclusion and decides
