5.Time in Replay - 25.20
6.Rule (s) applicable 16.1;10
7.Skipper (s) involved - Jonte HDT F
8.Description - After rounding last downwind buoy I was sailing starboard. Ahead of me sailed Jonte HDT F. He made a tack to port. I stayed on stb. Jonte sailed very slowly. When I have realised it I beared very little to avoid collision but Jonte, instead of bear to move around his stern, luffed and hit my boat. Obviously 10 for him (witch he cancelled) and not proper 16.1 for me witch I canceled too.
His manouvre slowed me a lot..

Facts :
Jonte went around downwind mark ahead of BogDan, and tacked to port slowly
BogDan went around downwind mark behind Jonte, and luffed after Jonte passed HTW
When Jonte crossed in front of BogDan, Jonte's stern got closer to BogDan's bow quickly, and there was a contact
Jonte received RRS10 from BogDan, which he asked to cancel
BogDan received RRS16.1 from Jonte, which he asked to cancel
No penalty turn done

Conclusion :
BogDan had to give room to Jonte under RRS16.1
Jonte could continue on port without changing his way, but he luffed, making contact inevitable for BogDan
BogDan's cancellation ACCEPTED
Jonte DSQ for breaking RRS10

Note :
Jonte didn't submit any explanation on forum, so he would have been DSQ in any case
