Rule 42 policy that can be used by the Jury:
When the conditions are marginal, but surfing and or planing might be possible, a boat can try:
This is how most On-the-water Jury will respond:
1st try, and it fails > No consequences;
2nd try & fail > Boat is now in Yellow light area
3rd try & fail > Penalty, i.e. a Yellow flag for that boat
3rd try and succes! > No consequenses
4th try and fail > Boat is again in Yellow light area
5th try > The same as with the 3rd try.
This whole process starts anew in a different part of the course or leg....
Therefore, don't do it to often
