BlueSweden was outside overlap, and should give Excalibur mark-room. Bluesweden does so, but right at the mark Excalibur broaches.
PC finds that Bluesweden gave mark-room to Excalibur, but receives a pen RRS 18.2b because of the broach. Further more, looking at replay of Bluesweden, there doesn't seems to be contact, and therefore neither boat breaks any rules.

Decision:
Bluesweden pen cancel accepted, no further action.
Excalibur no action.
