Submission Type: Explanation
1. Your registered Boat Name: 103 SPX
2. Race Day: 2
3. Group: Red
4. Race : 6
5. Time (in Replay): Pen: 24:15, Cancel: 24:34
6. Rule(s) applicable: 2
7. Skipper(s) involved: Batboat Jedi
8. Description:
103 SPX approaching last windward mark on starboard tack. Batboat sails about one length of a boat behind and two lenghts of a boat windward to 103 SPX and is followed by Marino right behind him (about one length of a boat distance). Considering Batboat and Marino could prevent 103 to round the mark once on port tack 103 chose to go overline (about 20°over) before tacking on port. This way 103 anticipated the possible collision with Batboat by giving him enough room to round the mark (about one length and a half of a boat which is in my opinion more than enough to round the mark without risking a pen 31.1 especially with current coming from astern before rounding the mark). Marino was not a threat to Batboat either.
Batboat instead of rounding the mark as soon as he could chose to continue on starboard tack in order to deliberately give a pen 10 to 103 who left him more room than he needed to round the mark.
By sailing a longer distance and keeping on sailing on starboard tack until pen is given to 103 Batboat in my opinion breaks rule 2 (A boat and her owner shall compete in compliance with recognized principles of sportsmanship and fair play...).
103 did his best to avoid contact by luffing (24:15) as soon as she saw Batboat took longer than necessary for her to round the mark but pen 10 was given.
