Season 16, Race Day Finals, Group Top, Race 1, Protest
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2022 11:02 pm
Submission Type: Protest
1. Your registered boat name: Jammin
2. Group: Top
3. Race (number): 1
4. Time of incident (in replay): 13:20
5. Rule(s) applicable: 2
6. Boat(s) involved: Zhik,
7. Description: Approaching the windward mark Zhik was inside Balder with Oversteer clear ahead of both. Oversteer has to luff for the mark slowing his boatspeed in the zone. Balder luffs to windward keeping clear but Zhik decides to go to leeward of Oversteer creating an overlap and forcing his way between the mark and Oversteer where he knows he has no room. This manouvre stops Oversteers boat and causes Balder to have to luff above close hauled. As it was a deliberate move to take advantage where he had no room, instead of following Jammins path behind the fleet, we believe Zhik breaks rule 2.
