Submission Type: C

1.Your registered Boat Name: Larsvegas

2.Race Day: 3

3.Group (colour): Blue

4.Race (number): 8

5.Time (in Replay): 1:52-2:00

6.Rule(s) applicable: 11

7.Skipper(s) involved: Larsvegas and Albervita

8.Description: Albervita sailing parallell to the line, probably trying to avoid becoming OCS. Larsvegas has to bear away to avoid contact at 1:52. Albervita stays in the "immediate contact zone" until the starting signal, which means he is breaking rule 11 in this whole period. There is not visible contact, but with RC44 the collision zone is bigger than the actual 3D model.

Description is correct ; action can be seen also from my Bandicam in possession of PC. Obviously 16.1 was wrong. Cheers Albervita
