8. Description: I was heading to finish line on port gybe at a high angle as I had overstood the layline. At the finish line several boats on starboard had over stood the starboard end of line when they gybed back they broached and lost control due to their TWA. HDT Galaxy gave me 18.2c pen and cancelled but it was too late as I was beyond the line and ended up doing a penalty turn on my way back upwind to cross the line losing maybe 2 or more places. Unfortunately my replay cuts off before I reach the finish line so I am having to write this from memory but I'll attach it anyway, hopefully the host has the full replay.
