SPX tacked to close to me and i had no chance ( in seamans way ) to give him room. I protested him for Rule 16.1(When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other boat room to keep clear.)


9. Print Screen attached (required for a valid PROTEST): 10. Replay attached (optional):

Sorry i forgot to say, that i requested cancellation and SPX 103 agreed.

103 SPX on starboard tack, Fiducit III on port tack crossing ahead of 103 SPX. Fiducit III can not continue without avoiding 103 SPX. Fiducit III luffs to avoid 103 SPX's bow. At the same time 103 SPX, as Fiducit III had no room to cross clear ahead of her, tacked leeward to Fiducit III but contact was inevitable.

In my opinion Fiducit III on port tack had to respect RRS 10 which he failed to do
