5. Time (in Replay): 24:35:00
6. Rule(s) applicable: 16.1, 11
7. Boat(s) involved: Valodea, Moleke
8. Description: Valodea rounds the gybe mark ahead and inside of Jammin and Moleke. He decides to go for spinnaker which ends up being a bad call as both Jammin and Moleke continue with sail 3. Not wanting to risk hitting Valodeas stern Jammin stays outside Valodea who is going slower because of the hoist and a bad mark rounding. Valodea takes mark room for 2 boats on the exit. Valodea with spin sails between 20-30 degrees off proper course to the next mark after exiting the mark.
At 24:26:00 Valodeas stern clears the gybe mark.
1s later Jammin gains an overlap with his bowsprit. 18.2 for Jammin ends and 11 for Valodea begins.
1.5s later Jammin gets full overlap with bow.
1.5s later Jammins stern clears the gybe mark.
3.5s later Valodea eventually luffs to avoid Jammin. Thats 6.5 seconds after Jammin gained overlap and waited for valodea to luff.
2s later Valodea stops luff in what looks to be lag as moleke does same movement on Jammins replay. Jammin gets a 16.1 from nadeo.
2s later there is contact.
1s later Jammin is free to sail his proper course to the next mark and asks for cancel.
over 30s later Valodea eventually cancels Jammins request for cancellation.
Jammin luffed very late and gently and gave more than enough room and time for Valodea to either luff earlier and harder to avoid breaking RRS11 or at the very least he had plenty time to drop his spinnaker and revert back to sail 3 before contact from Jammin. Furthermore there is lag and Moleke to leeward of Jammin who he needs to avoid.
Valodea then goes off on a bizarre course completely missing the following mark and does a couple of random 360s. Too many whiskys perhaps??
