a team race occured where a boat capsized after the windward mark but before the offset mark. by the time the boat was righted, the competitor simply sailed to finish without complying with rule 28 (his team had one the race with a 1,2).
there is a provision in appendix D that says "When all boats on one team have finished, retired or failed to start, the
race committee may stop the race. The other team’s boats racing at that time shall be scored the points they would have received had they finished."
the other team had finished and the RC simply scored the final boat as a 6.
can the other team protest this boat for a breach of rule 28 and prevail?

I don't think so, It is up to the RC to stop the race and give the score.
Did the RC stop the race before he reached the finish?
If not, he can't be punished because of D3.1(a)
He had no advantage, so rule D3.1 (b) is also not applicable.
If they did stop the race, rule D3.2 kicks in.
What is your answer?
I agree with you Jos. Thank you for the comment!
