If you hit the finish mark, you have not finished and as such you are still on course side wherever the boat is located until you perform your penalty turn (in a seamanlike manner staying clear of other boats) and re-cross the finish line from a direction closest to the preceding mark. You can not simply make your turns and cross the line from above the finish mark.

I was unsure how your time would then be recorded. The part I missed is that you would then have to go back to the course side of the line and re-finish. I don’t see anything about which side of the line you have to be on when you do your penalty turn, so presumably either side (finish side would be less likely to hinder other boats) and then refinish from the course side and that is the time that would be recorded.

After you finish, you have to clear the finish line and marks. If you touch the pin end after you finish, you must take a one turn penalty, and that time is added to your finishing time.

I have done this instinctively a few times, not realizing I was following in Dennis Conner’s footsteps. The article mentions that you should avoid hitting the pin after finishing. My question is, if some part of the boat crosses the line, so you have finished, and then you touch the pin buoy, is it of no consequence or is there a penalty?
