Facts:
Steviekouris sailed a proper course.
Contact on The White Boat replay due to lag/broach limit.
No contact on Stevie's replay.

Conclusion:
Judging from TWB's replay, Stevie broke rule 16.1 and TWB broke rule 11. TWB exonerated.
Judging form Stevie's replay, not near contact... No rules broken.
Cancellation accepted.
