On behalf of A2-Mover. A2-Mover is on starboard tack on closed hauled, heading towards the start line. Zez is windward to A2-Mover and on starboard tack. A2-Mover has inner overlap on Zez. Zez is bearing away towards A2-Mover. A2-Mover does not change course, so A2-Mover respects rule 16.1. Since Zez and A2-Mover are on the same tack and overlapped, Zez shall keep clear of A2-Mover, since A2-Mover has inner overlap.

Zez does not respect rule 11 and should therefore be DSQ.

Facts:
A2-Mover to leeward of Zez, both clear astern of The White Boat.
Zez on a lower course than both of the other boats establish overlap to 1 boat width leeward of The White Boat.
Zez luffs while A2-Mover holds her course. The White Boat immediately responds with luffing.
Zez continue to luff, and The White Boats continues to respond by luffing, while A2-Mover holds her course.
There is contact between the The White Boat and Zez, and between Zez and A2-Mover.
Zez receives a penalty from the VSK umpire under rule 11 for the contact with A2-Mover which he cancels.

Conclusion:
Zez did not give The White Boat room to keep clear when he luffed, and broke rule 16.1.
Zez did not keep clear of A2-Mover as windward boat, and broke rule 11.
Zez to be scored DSQ in the race.
