Hi Duffy , Protest committee and all e sailors.

My replay attached below shows there was no contact on my screen. The penalty received by Duffy was due to lag and nobody broke any rule here.

Regards

Jimi

Facts:
Duffy on starboard bears away slightly.
Jimi on port bears away to pass behind Duffy.
On Jimi's replay, he pass clear astern.
On host replay, he pass clear astern.
On Duffy's replay, Jimi hit Duffy 1/4 boat length from the stern.
Duffy got a penalty from the VSK umpire under rule 16.1 which he cancels.

Conclusion:
According to the MLS rules, it shall be considered as contact when there has been a penalty under rule 16.1 except if there was extra ordinary lag involved. In this case, the difference between Duffy's replay and the other replays were extra ordinary. Duffy gave room to keep clear on his replay. Jimi kept clear on his replay. No rules broken.
