season15, day 2, blue, race3, cancel explanation

Post by zhik »

Submission Type: cancel explanation

1. Your registered boat name: zhik

2. Group: blue

3. Race (number): 3

4. Time of incident (in replay): 15:00

5. Rule(s) applicable: 10

6. Boat(s) involved: pirata & kokos & zhik

7. Description:

It was at the top mark of the first upwind. Zhik tacked at the windward of kokos. Pirata was on the layline, so there is no rtt for kokos, who must pass behind pirata according to mls rule.

According to 2.7 iii, this mls rule enables zhik to not respond to a hail from kokos because pirata is on the layline and fetching the mark.

The tack of zhik to reach the upwind mark is valid because zhik didnt obstruct pirata. Pirata didnt change his course. Zhik didnt break rule 10.

Moreover, Kokos forces zhik to tack with this move.

8. Print Screen attached (required for a manual protest): no

9. Replay attached (recommended):
