On Behalf of Carly Master who works on a boat with no internet access.

Firstly the starboard Lupi boat that Salento is asking RTT from is fetching the mark. According to mls rule 2.7iii :

2.7 Add to rule 20.1: She shall not hail RTT if:
i. she has not started,
ii. the obstruction is a boat sailing on starboard tack on a beat to windward, and she is not ahead of the
starboard boat (ie. bow in front), or
iii. the obstruction is a starboard boat fetching the mark.

Granted it is a long way from the mark however the Lupi boat does fetch the mark with no issue. Even Defender who is further to leeward makes the windward mark.

On the call for RTT, Salento is bound to waiting for Carly to tack or for a response of yt or you tack. Salento tacks allot earlier than he needs to giving Carly less time to react, but most importantly Salento over rotates significantly beyond close hauled on Carlys replay which causes the contact . Carly believes Salento broke both mls rule 2.7iii but also rrs16.1.

Carlys replay is sent to PC via email.

Facts:

Salento hailed RTT for Lupi.
Lupi was fetching the mark.

Conclusion:
Salento broke MLS rule 2.7.iii as Lupi was fetching the mark.
Salento broke rule 16.1 as he did not give Carly Master room to keep clear when he continued to bear away after reaching close hauled on starboard.

Decision:
Salento to be disqualified in the race.
