Submission Type: Explanation
1. Your registered Boat Name: 103 SPX BZH Connection
2. Race Day: Finale
3. Group: Top
4. Race : 2
5. Time (in Replay): 1:58
6. Rule(s) applicable: 16.1, 11
7. Skipper(s) involved: 103 SPX / Carly Master TTW
8. Description:
A few seconds before start all boats are sailing to the line. Carly Master is sailing ahead of 103 SPX, both on starboard tack. Coming from astern, 103 SPX creates overlap leeward to Carly Master between 1:50 and 1:51. Carly Master then doesn't have enough room to avoid OCS and/or collision with 103 SPX. After overlap is created 103 SPX bears slightly away (1:54) in order to avoid contact then slightly luffs (1:55) to avoid the shadow of Zhik who is the next boat leeward (close about half a length of a boat) of 103 SPX. Collision occurs at 1:58. Pen 16.1 is given to 103 SPX and Carly Master is given a 30.1 for OCS. 103 SPX asks for cancellation and Carly Master accepts.
To me Carly Master broke RRS 11 by not keeping clear of an overlapped leeward boat. He had time and room to keep clear as 103 SPX only slightly luffed (not more than 5°) between the time overlap was created and the collision.
