Submission Type: Protest and Redress
1. Your registered Boat Name: Jammin Dovetails
2. Race Day: 2
3. Group: Red
4. Race : 2
5. Time (in Replay): 9:30
6. Rule(s) applicable: 2, 18.2, 19.2
7. Skipper(s) involved: Balder, Duffy, Piotr, Pawel, Ryhoo, Venhobel, Kent, Batboat, Defender
8. Description: I am approaching the mark as inside boat on port, 7 boats overlapped outside of me.
No-one at any time calls for RTT 'room to tack''.
18 seconds before the zone Kent asks Balder for "room soon" he luffs instead to try and break overlap but does not manage to. Balder gets a correct 18.2. 10 seconds before the zone I also ask for room, not a single boat responds properly or at all to my request or Kents.
The outside boats that it is clear need to give more room are, Duffy and Pawel. Piotr could do more to give room also.
Ryhoo, Venhobel and Kent are sandwiched with nowhere to go.
So with little room in the zone I hit the mark getting a 30.1, Batboat approaching on starboard is then an obstruction so I try to duck him but there is no room to avoid. The outside boats break 18.2 but also 19.2. Unfortunately the contact stops dead me and batboat and the fleet pile up.
Defender also approaching on starboard gets stopped dead too.
At a time of trying to get boatspeed to clear my 31.1 I get another un-avoidable pen 20 from Albervita.
So with all this Chaos who is culpable? I wrote in chat after the chaos died down, "P Boat inside me" as I had no idea who was breaking a rule or not giving room. I also had boat names turned off and some skins had not downloaded so no way to identify in the chaos.
I see now the situation described above. Good luck to the P.C. but in my opinion someone broke rule 2, if thats Balder for deliberately breaking 18.2, or Duffy or Piotr for not giving any room and forcing the collisions, or nadeo for creating this chaos, who knows... I shall wait for P.C. decision with interest!
I ask for Redress as from a likely 3rd or 4th position if I had been given proper room, I went to3rd from last place after my 2 spins. I also believe Batboat as starboard boat should be considered for redress. Balder should NOT be 4th!
My sympathies to the P.C. and wish best of luck sorting this mess out! Someone did mention doing a re - race?! Not sure I want to lol.
Good night!
