Subject: Re: Protesta donmasino vs sailgood by steviekouris on 2018/2/21 8:26:46 - Sailgood and Donmasino are sailing on port overlapped with Sailgood to leeward outside the zone. The distance between the boats is 1/2 boat length. - Paolofico is also on port clear ahead of both boats. Paolofico tacks and completes his tack about 1 boat length away from Sailgood. - Sailgood starts luffing and then tacks, inside the zone, at 9:27:80 of the replay, while Donmasino hold his course. - Before Sailgood complete his tack there is contact between the boats. Nadeo umpire penalize Sailgood for a breach of RRS 13. - Donmasino luffs but never tacks. Donmasino stops at the mark - Sailgood luffs to pass the mark and there is contact with Paolofico. - Immediately after passing the mark Sailgood takes a one turn penalty. Sailgood while tacking failed to keep clear of Donmasino breaking RRS 13. The penalty assigned by the umpire is correct. Sailgood caused contact with Donmasino breaking also RRS 14. It was not reasonably possible for Donmasino to avoid contact with Sailgood. By taking a one turn penalty Sailgood takes the appropriate penalty as described in RRS 64.1(b). Since the game is virtual and the concept of damage is very relative, there is to consider if Donmasino is entitled to redress under RRS 62.1(b). In my opinion the stop of Donmasino's boat(for me it can Qualify as physical damage in the virtual game) is caused by the action of Sailgood's breach of RRS 13 and therefore he is entitled to redress. The redress given is the following:"...................To be announced very shortly................" Concerning Rule 2 the protest committe has not clearly established that the principles of sportmanship and fair play has been violated. |
