So here's an interesting interpretation of an existing rule.
NAMBA rule 18.J.5 applied to SRB:
Since an SRB isn't a called dead boat. If another boat dnf's because it hits the SRB while it's righting itself, the SRB gets DQ's for performing an action that impedes another racer and the boat that hits it gets 169 (4th place points) for being taken out.
You could also call lap penalties for blocking racing lanes while it self rights. There's a rule that deals with something along those lines in the book somewhere. Of course you're only allowed two penalties before you get DQ'd anyway.
I like the SRB's and they make a lot of sense for endurance racing. Just not a fan for sprints. Don't know what you guys want to do with O/S.
