8.Description: I tacked to windward o zee pol... Then i kept clear of him as windward boat at all times and there was no contact.
I got a penalty for 18.2a which i think was wrong and i asked for cancel....cancel was refused...

So i did a penalty turn right after mark 2... and i got a penalty for breaking rule 10 with jepsom.... i did my penalty turn after i get clear fom other boats and i think Jepsom could sail his course with no change of course and there was no contact...that is why I asked to cancel the penalty.
Jepsom refused to cancel so I did a second 360
Jepsom left the race....
I would like to ask redress for both refused cancellations

The Galaxy HDT turned from left tack to right tack. Alex HDT did the same. Alex ran into a collision with my yacht on port tack. After being hit by Alex, my yacht started to retreat and was hit from the rear by PC Costa. After a collision with me, Alex turned to right tack and forced me to sharpen my course. The Galaxy yacht did not make room for me and therefore got a penalty of 18.2.A. A just punishment. My only mistake was not canceling a penalty that I didn't notice.
Alex and Galaxy yachts did not sail fair and deserve a penalty of points. 2

Facts 1:
Galaxy to windward of Zeepol got a VSK penalty under 18.2(a).
There were no extra ordinary lag involved.
Galaxy requested cancellation.
Zeepol did not respond to the request.

Conclusion 1:
Galaxy did not keep clear of, give room to, Zeepol and broke rules 11 and 18.2(a).
See MLS rule 2.5. When VSK gives a pen under 18, then it shall be considered contact even if replay shows no physical contact.

Facts 2:
Galaxy on port turning to windward of Jepson on starboard.
Jepson beared away and there was slight contact.
Galaxy got a penalty under rule 10 and requested cancellation.
Jepson did not respond to the request.
Galaxy took a turn 1 minute later.

Conclusion 2:
Galaxy did not keep clear and broke rule 10/22.2.
Galaxy did not comply with rule 44.2 for the first penalty when turning in front of Jepson, as he did not get well clear of other boats before turning.
Galaxy did not comply with rule 44.2 for the second penalty when turning 1 minute after the incident.

Overall conclusion:
Galaxy to be disqualifed for breaking RRSS rule 10, 11, 18.2(a) and 22.2.
Zeepol to be disqualifed for breaking MLS rule 3.2.2.
Jepson to be disqualifed for breaking MLS rule 3.2.2.
