Submission Type: Explanation (Written on behalf of Alf by Jammin Dovetails)
1.Your registered Boat Name: Alf
2.Race Day: 2
3.Group (colour): Green
4.Race (number): 2
5.Time (in Replay): 8:47
6.Rule(s) applicable: 18.2c 16.1 15
7.Boat(s) involved: Jammin Dovetails Jack Toppen Tulle Alf and Valodea
8.Description: There where many boats all racked up rounding the windward mark. Alf was giving mark room to Tulle and Valodea to Alf. Toppen clear ahead luffs hard to round the mark slowing him and Jack to windward. Jack keeps clear but gets a incorrect 18.2a. Tulle makes a bad choice of trying to sail between the 2 slower boats in front. Hits Jacks stern and gets a correct 18.2c slowing Tulle almost to a stop. Then soon after Tulle does a sharp bear away hitting the stern of Toppen stopping Tulle again which causes the collision with Alf. These 3 surprise actions of Tulle give Alf no chance to keep further clear as he has Valodea to windward and Jammin Dovetails ahead to avoid at that time. Tulle breaks 18.2c 16.1 and 15 rule infringements but cancels his pen as does Jack. As there was room given on Alfs screen/ replay and all other pens where cancelled Alf considers lag to be a consideration and cancelled also.
