Hi Jean-Luc

Firstly I too want to say 'well sailed' to UNT who were good company and fair skippers.
Then I need to say that although your offer to resail the race is appreciated, I prefer that we settle the matter by a decision about this incident and dont resail.

I am sorry but I dont have the same point of view of the penalty.

The Request by Tiki for cancel was at 2:06 on the race clock. Colibri typed 'p tik' at 2:50, which is 44 seconds after the request and in my opinion does not fulfil the SI which says in 9.1 '(c) A boat that intend to protest shall inform the other boat as soon as possible by writing 'P' in simulation chat'

After rounding the mark, Tiki gybes onto port. He has room to do this clear of Colibri if Colibri maintains the course he is on. But Colibri bears down and gives Tiki no opportunity to keep clear. By bearing down in this way, in my view he breaks rule 16.1.

So my opinion is that the pen cancel request was correct and that Colibri broke 16.1.

If you dont agree with this view, I will understand completely and will be content to go to the jury and let them decide.

For ease of review, I put a video from my replay on YouTube here .. YouTube Video
