Submission Type: E

1. Your registered Boat Name: Zhik

2. Race Day: 1

3, Group (colour): Blue

4. Race (number) 1

5. Time (in Replay): 13:22:00

6. Rule(s) applicable: 17.1, 13, 64.1(a)

7. Boat(s) involved: Zhik, Tiki, Kvien, BigBos

8. Description:

BigBos was STB
Kvien, Zhik, Tiki were on port, windward to leeward and ducking the fleet
Tiki luffed first, and Zhik had to luff too, and received RRS17.1 from Kvien while he asked to cancel
Tiki tacked first without any RTT (RTT not available here according to MLS Rule 2.7.iii), so broke RRS10 with BigBos and RRS13 with Zhik
Zhik tacked because of Tiki, can't do anything else because Zhik was between Tiki and Kvien, so compelled to break RRS13 with Kvien
Kvien tacked because of Zhik

In my opinion :
Tiki was wrong here, and should have ducked behind BigBos and gave room to Zhik and Kvien
Zhik was compelled to break RRS13, so should be exonerated under RRS64.1(a)

9. Print Screen attached (required fo a manual protest): N/A
