| Event: 2016 George Mac Regatta | Race Number: 4 |
| Protesting Boat: 1387 | Protested Boat: 1713 |
| Submitted Date/time: 03 Dec 2016 17:36 |
| Hearing Details: Mark room |
Facts Found| |
- 1387 and 1713 were approaching the leeward mark on port tack with 1713 clear astern of 1387.
- At approximately 2 boat lengths, 1713 was overlapped inside 1387.
- The boats rounded the mark with 1387 on the outside, 1713 on the inside.
|
|
Conclusion| |
- There is reasonable doubt as to whether 1713 obtained the inside overlap in time and it is therefore presumed she did not as stated in rule 18.2(d).
- 1713 took mark room to which she was not entitled under rule 18.2(b).
