Mickey Beckett took a 30% Post-Race Penalty, after being protested in Race 1 of the ILCA 7 World Championships.
After winnning the first blue flight race Thursday, Beckett was protested by Ilija Markovic of Montenegro.
During the arbitration meeting, Beckett took a 30% Post-Race Penalty in accordance with RRS T1(a), and the protest was withdrawn.
This dropped Beckett from 1st to 17th in race 1 and from 7th to 29th overall after the first two races.
In another protest New Zealander George Gautrey was protested by Finn Alexander of Australia, and also took a 30% Post-Race Penalty which resulted in his dropping from 3rd to 19th in Race 2 red flight, and is now placed 26th overall.
Two more races are scheduled for Saturday and the discard will kick-in.
