6.Rule(s) applicable:
22.2 / 2
7.Boat(s) involved:
Freja and Sailor
8.Description:
Time 17.32 Sailor received a penalty 18.2.A (by umpire) by a mark rounding on downwind. After rounding the mark, Sailor is clearly ahead. Sailor is on port (spinaker). Sailor gybes time 17.42 from port to starboard and gybes back to port, time 17.47. From time 17.54 to 17.58 Sailor luffs up. 17.58 umpire triggers a rule 11 for Freja.
Sailor must keep clear when he must take his punishment, cf. rule 22.2. At the same time, it is not seafaring correct when Sailor gybes twice and subsequently luffs Freja up (when he has a penalty).
Sailor should get DSQ, cf. rule 22.2 and the judging committee should consider rule 2 due to the course of events, where it looks like an unreasonable and gross punishment against Freja.
