Hearing Decision

56 and 03 were on port approaching the starboard rounding gate mark.  When 56 entered the zone they were clear ahead of 03 and 03 was to leeward. 56 jibed to starboard when they were just past the mark and immediatly after 03 jibed to starboard inside 56 and then rounded inside of 56.  There was contact between the port hull of 03 and starboard hull of 56 with no damage. The wind was 8-9 knots. No boats took a penalty turn.

03 was clear stern when 56 entered the zone and failed to give mark room to 56, breaking RRS 18.2b and 14. 56 was not able to avoid contact when it became clear that 03 was not giving mark room and they did not break RRS 14.
