Re: MLS Day 4 Red Server Race 1 - Cancel explaination
Facts :
> Samuel and Donmasino gybe to port around the offset mark, with Donmasino to leeward
> Donmasino luffs to parallel course with Samuel, and the separation is 1 boat width
> The VSK umpire gives a penalty to Samuel under rule 11
> Samuel cancels the penalty
Decision:
> Donmasino gave Samuel room
> Samuel kept clear
> No rules broken by any of the boats
> Cancellation accepted
Further info:
> Samuel got a penalty due to lag. In Samuels replay, we can see that Donmasino does not stop his rotation, and hits Samuel.
>This would have been a violation of rule 16.1. But since Donmasino did not sail this way, he can not be penalized for the collision on Samuels screen.
> Reference is made to the following part of the MLS rules:
>"Boats can be exonerated from a penalty if their respective replay show that they have not violated any rule."
