2. Race Day: 1
3, Group (colour): Green
4. Race (number) 2
5. Time (in Replay): 11:54
6. Rule(s) applicable: 10/13
7. Boat(s) involved: Laj2 and Ryh00
8. Description:
LaJ2 on starboard ahead of Balder and Ryh00 on port. Balder tacks to starboard. Ryh00 decides to try to tack under Balder instead of going for the easy and safe option by passing behind Balder (which would hardly not have required a course change). While luffing to tack, or while tacking, Ryh00 hits the stern of Laj2. Laj2 got a penalty form the VSK umpire under rule 15 which he cancelled. Since the pen was under 15, it proves it was contact by definition. Ryh00 did not keep clear of Laj2 and shall be DSQ.
