8. Description:The white boat was approaching the 1st mark giving room to Jonte and overlapped to leeward of JohnPap. Jonte luffed to round the mark. The white Boat responded but was prevented from keeping clear by JohnPap. TWB received an 18.2.a from Jonte. Asked to cancel as prevented from keeping clear by Jonte. Then decided to do a 360 as wasn't sure of facts and TWB race was already "down the pan" by this stage.

Facts:
Jonte entered the zone on starboard to leeward of The White Boat.
Just before passing the mark, Jonte passed head to wind twice, beared away, hit the mark and hit TWB.
Jonte took a penalty turn. TWB took a penalty turn.

Conclusion:
Jonte did not keep clear and caused TWB to sail above close hauled.
Jonte broke RRS Rules 13, 18.3 and 31.
TWB did not break any rules he would not be exonerated for.
Cancellation accepted.
No further actions.
