Hi,

I inform you first that the protest was submitted after the deadline, according to MLS rule 3.1.2. Therefore, it should not be analyzed.

Regarding the incident, I would like to clarify that the penalty occurred due to a crash between the boats Alex HDT (port tacked) and Zee POL (starboard tack). The boat Zee POL, after crashing, started to reverse abruptly in my direction, not giving me enough opportunity to stay away.
My penalty was due to an error on the Alex HDT boat.

I would like to clarify that it was never my intention to give a penalty too Zee, the penalty was due an error of Alex hdt.

Sorry for the bad English. I do not speak English. I used a translator.

Facts:
Protest submitted after the protest time limit (MLS rule 3.1.2).

Conclusion:
Zeepol to be given +1 point according to the scoring paragraph in the Sailing Instructions.

Note:
Zeepol, it is not necessary to protest for a situation that includes a penalty cancellation. The situation will be examined by default.
Paolo Costa, it is mandatory to submit a penalty cancel explanation if you cancel a penalty. See MLS Rule 3.2.3. Without submitting an explanation, the boat will be disqualified by default, even if the cancellation was justified.
