Facts:
Perry to leeward of Brubeck, both on port.
BlueSweden on starboard above the layline.
Perry tacks on the layline.
Before Perry has completed the tack, and when the boats were 1/3 boat length apart, Brubeck luffs and tacks to leeward of Perry.
Their masts hit, Perry get a penalty from the VSK umpire under rule 16.1, which he requests to cancel.
Brubeck does not respond to the cancellation request and Perry takes a penalty turn 50 seconds later.
Perry requests redress.

Conclusion:
Perry didn't give Brubeck room to keep clear after tacking, hence broke RRS rule 15.
Brubeck didn't cancel the penalty. hence broke MLS rule 3.2.2.
Perry took a penalty turn, but did not comply to rule 44.2, hence the turn is not valid.
Perry to be scored DSQ in the race.
Brubeck to be scored DSQ in the race.
Brubeck's lack of cancellation did not affect the result of Perry, so no redress given.

Note:
Had Brubeck cancelled, Perry would have been DSQ'ed anyway (for not taking a penalty, or taking it too late).
