Yes I took a pen turn, as soon as I could, just to be sure.
But looking at replay, Petter is so close to windward, that there are immediately contact, when I changed course because of the small brough.
So, in my eyes, Petter broke RRS 11, I just took the pen turn as a precaution, if the PC finds that I broke RRS 16.1.

Spirillen hoisted her spinnaker, Petter did same. When they had their ”spi” set up, Spirillen broached for a very short moment and immediately re-took control of her boat.
Petter had no adequate room to keep clear due to the fact that she was way way to close windward to Spirillen.

Decision :
Petter DSQ for breaking rrs18.2.a
No action against Spirillen, especially knowing that she, later, voluntarily took a penalty turn.
