I have to give room to SAF and Kokos inside of me. I am quite close to Kokos. He is under protest and I am unsure about his moves and actions.To be safe I luff a little and hit Larsvegas, who I think has started to bare down too early.

Facts at topmark :
> All boats are STB, rounding topmark
> In order : SAF, Kokos and Goffe are leeward of Larsvegas (all overlapped)
> Larsvegas receives RRS15 from Goffe


Decision :
> Larsvegas can't bear away first
> Goffe can't do anything else here, he must luff in order to avoid Kokos
> Larsvegas's explanation DISMISSED
> Larsvegas DSQ for breaking RRS11
> No further action
