If you hit the RC boat or pin, even if you already crossed the line, you must do a circle and recross the line.
After you finish, you must make reasonable efforts to avoid boats still racing.
You’re considered finished when any part of the boat, crew, or rigging, in normal position, crosses the line.  As long as you don’t hit the pin or the RC boat, you don’t have to fully cross the line.  You can dip back downwind or drift backwards (if you’re in irons).  “Normal position” means a crew can’t stick a paddle across the line, or in a downwind finish, you can’t let your spinnaker fly out in front of the boat to get across the line sooner.
