2.Race Day: 2

3.Group (colour): blue

4.Race (number): 1

5.Time (in Replay): around 11:00

6.Rule(s) applicable: 11

7.Boat(s) involved: Sailor Ger

8.Description: (I write this post on behalf of Damian as he cannot connect to the forum)
I was approaching the windward mark overlapped to windward of Sailor Ger. I tried to sail under him and I was penalized by the umpire for rule 12, which i asked to cancel and sailor accepted...
The only reason i asked to cancel is that the penalty was wrong as the boats were overlapped. I did break rule 11 and that is why soon after I did a penalty turn as you can see on the replay around 11:20

Topics merged.

Will, it's the boat requesting to cancel who has to submit an explanation, the boat accepting to cancel does not have the burden.

Sailorger bear away slowly and there is immediate contact on Sailorger's windward side.
Damian get a penalty from VSK under rule 12 which he cancels.
Daminan take a turn 20 seconds later.

Conclusion:
Damian did not keep clear and broke rule 11.
Damian took a penalty according to rule 44.2.
No action to be taken.

Note:
The PC receive alot of work for each regatta. That is no problem. But please do not give use more paperwork to process than necessary. Sailorger should not have submitted a topic for Damians explanation!
