If any problem occurs with a competitor afloat, they are obliged immidiately to draw attention to themselves with a horn or light. A teammate or any other competitor is obliged to notify promptly the championship officials. If it is utterly obvious that the competitor's life is in danger, also the Police and emergency services must be alerted without any delay (crisis numbers are to be found in the competitor's card). If they assess the situation properly and responsibly and feel capable of helping the competitor in danger, they can do so at their ownrisk and responsibility.
