Season 13, Race Day 4, Group Red, Race 2, Protest and Redress Request
Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2021 11:09 pm
Submission Type: Protest and Redress request
1. Your registered Boat Name: Jammin
2. Race Day: 4
3, Group (colour): Red
4. Race (number): 2
5. Time (in Replay): 16:17.24
6. Rule(s) applicable: 18.2c, 2
7. Boat(s) involved: Northstar and Slyfox
8. Description: Approaching the port leeward gate mark, Q23 tacks to starboard going upwind and distracts me from my drop. My late drop forces me wide at the mark to not broach but i enter zone before I luff. I was clear ahead by several boat lengths of Northstar as I enter the zone. Northstar with Slyfox close behind, is the next boat to round that mark. Note we are all well ahead of Perry who finishes the race 2nd.
As I come up to round the mark in a sea-manlike manner, Northstar for some unknown reason decides to sail straight at me and crashes @16:17.24 forcing me backwards at great speed. Northstar had no room at the mark and got a correct 18.2c from nadeo which he takes a 360 for. Meanwhile Slyfox has to sail a very long way around my stern and losses allot of boat lengths to other boats around.
It takes me approx 35 seconds (16:17.24 to 16:52.24 on replay) to get back to a similar position when we collided. El Moro the eventual winner of Race 2 is rounding the opposite mark to me only very slightly ahead in 5th, I was 5th/6th pre collision. Post Collision I ended up 12th at one point.
So I am asking Redress for both myself and Slyfox who was also badly affected by Northstars potential rule 2 infringement.
Fast forward to the end of the race after many broaches and pens of other boats. Please take note of Elmoro 1st, Perry 2nd, Slyfox 4th and Jammin 6th. We all sail a clean race post collision and I finish 31s behind El Moro. Gaining approx 4s on El Moro after I get back up to speed @ 16:52.24 on replay. As myself and Slyfox where clear ahead of Perry and not far behind El Moro, before the incident, maybe Jammin 2nd and Slyfox 3rd would be appropriate redress?
Thanks for your time and efforts.
