MLS S13 - Day 2 - Red Server - Race 1 - Cancel Explanation

Post by Toppen »

Submission Type: E

1. Your registered Boat Name: Toppen

2. Race Day: 2

3, Group (colour): Red Server

4. Race (number): 1

5. Time (in Replay): 24:30:00

6. Rule(s) applicable: RRS10 instead of N/A

7. Boat(s) involved: Toppen - Albervita

8. Description:
Toppen and Albervita was STB
Albervita was clearly behind Toppen, without any overlap
When Albervita tacked, Toppen received RRS10

IMO, RRS10 was wrong because Albervita changed his course, that's why I asked to cancel

PS :
If Albervita didn't tack and continued his way, Toppen would have passed ahead of Albervita
If Albervita didn't tack and changed his way in order to give a pen, Albervita would have broke RRS16.1

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

10. Replay attached (recommended):

Facts:
Toppen tacked from starboard to port in front of Albervita after passing the layline.
Albervita then also tacked after the layline just next to the mark, and Toppen got a penalty under rule 10 from the VSK umpire.

Conclusion:
Toppen would have kept clear of Albervita if Toppen had swung his stern around Albervita and the mark and Albervita had held her course. Toppen was keeping clear. Cancellation accepted.

Note:
Albervita has during the hearing confirmed that he was not taking an avoiding action when he luffed. He only luffed to round the mark, which means case 50 is not applicable.
