Hi all,
IMO Parus broke rule 20.2(c), replay time t=4min. On the vidéo, lefter boat is Parus, then is Jiel, then comes Shura on starboard tack and being an obstruction to Jiel.
Jiel hailed well before immediat danger but Parus didnt respond in the chat and delayed his tack very late when the rule 20 says he must tack asap. Proofs :
a) Jiel had finished his tack when Parus was still on port tack
b) actually Parus was waiting Jiel tacked when the rule 20 says he must tack first, then Jiel tacks asap.
c) Shuraz had to change course to not hit Jiel, so Jiel was prevented to avoid Shura safely rule 20.1(a)
Jiel protested in the chat but Parus answered "no". Moreover, Parus got an important advantage to fetch the next mark which he would not have if he had tacked asap as required by rule 20.2(c).
