The 2013 RRS changes rule 41(a) to allow help for a crew member who is in danger. It also adds the provision a boat may not gain a significant advantage for a crew member receiving help. If she does, she may be protested, and protest committee may impose a penalty other than disqualification.
This rule does not permit a capsized boat to receive righting assistance - only help for crew in danger.
I hope that helps,

Good rule. Common case, crew overboard, separated from boat, gets assistance to get back to boat.
