Aninha (USA 8159) |
vs |
Redress - Race Committee
|
My boat was aproaching to start on the layline of the RO’s boat when the bow 79 bore away coming from windward of the RO’s boat to pass between me and the RO. How there wasn’t space, bow 79 hit your bow on my boat’s back, and after, your front stay hit my personal back. I called “protest” to bow 79 and exposed the red flag. Bow 79 didn’t made the turn penalty.
With the colision, I lost the control of my boat and was pushed ahead, causing that little part of my bow crossed the starting line before the start signal. The RO noted me like BFD and I request for redress because my fault was provoked by the bow 79’s fault.

We were rounding the downwind gate right mark and going up wind. Josh's boat rounded up right after us and it seemed like they bore down before rounding up. Bow 72 "my way" seems to have hit aegis. And they both swung into our stern and making two holes. This is when we we hailed protest. |

Airplane! (USA 600) |

Mr. Pitiful (USA 494)

We were sailing on starboard gybe, on a collision course with bow 37. They made no effort to keep clear until we bore off 20 degrees at which time they attempted to gybe. We did our best to avoid contact, but their spinnaker struck our spinnaker and shrouds. Later, they failed to give us room to avoid sail #380 which was a starboard boat who we both had to keep clear of. |

Umpires called us for rule 42. They didn’t notify us until 15-20 seconds after we finished. They initially misidentified us. We initially finished 6. The error and the slow notification harmed our result to 14. Had we been notified in timely manner we would have lost 2-3 boats maximum. We request a finish position of 6 because of u mpire error. |

When sailing on starboard tack towards the first upwind mark. Vessel Chingon 284 tacked in close proximity requiring my vessel 357 to have to alter course in order to attempt to keep clear. We hailed protest, they continued to sail the course without spinning their required single spin as this was outside of the 3 boat length zone but on the final beat of the leg. |

Near the finish of race #5 a judge boat blew a whistle and pointed a flag in the general direction of 8580. They then proceeded to hail 85 several times. Yacht 8580 took down their pole and did a penalty turn, losing 2 boats in the process. During their turn the judge began to hail 8520 several times
We feel that yacht 8580 was materially prejudiced by the umpires action |

246 and 258 were sailing on port tack below 258 about 100 yards from the finish line. We completed a jibe onto starboard then and 258 jibed a second or two later.. we had completed our jibe and port tack boat did not keep clear of leeward (rule 10). Then as both boat were on starboard, 258 attempted to roll 246 and their spinnaker floated down on our boat wrapping our shrouds. (Rule 11). The boat did a turn and refinished to exonerate. Witness Peter
Beardsley on Glory Days 333 observed the incident as well.
Race committee erroneously scored 258 in 6th place. |
