Black Pete and Zez crash with Clande.
Oversteer luffs and avoides collision with Clande.
Oversteer's stern hits the side of Zez, who is pushed sideways from the collision with Clande.
Oversteer receives a penalty from the VSK umpire under rule 13 which he cancels.

Conclusion:
Clande did not keep clear and broke Rule 11 and Rule 10. Clande was not sailing in compliance with the recognized principles of sportsmanship and fair play when he deliberately broke the Rule 11 and Rule 10. Clande broke Rule 2 and shall be scored DNE in the race. Oversteer broke rule 13, but is exonerated under rule 64.1(a).
