I protest Jiel for hailing P when the other boat clearly didn't break a rule.
Replay time 8:29.
Jiel protested Shuraz for hitting him, as if he didn't get the room he was entitled to.
Shuraz replied in chat, "I gave you room".
Chat went on, and after 90 seconds, Shuraz took a penalty turn.
I don't know why, but probably because he was under pressure.
While chatting, Jiel complained that he could not cancel his penalty.
I told him it was because he hit his team mate LG, not Shuraz.
Jiel then realized he was wrong and withdrew his P.
But damage was done, and blue went from a solid 2 3 4 to a loss with 2 3 6 (10-11).
I think red should have handed the race to blue under the spirit of fair sailing.
If not, I think at least this classifies to 1 penalty point under rule D3.1(b):
"Any hail for protest at situations where the opponent clearly didn't break any rule: 1 penalty point"
I think the fact that Jiel withdrew the protest on the water when he realized that he hit the other boat, is enough evidence that P clearly should not have been hailed.
This is what that rule is for, to not put pressure on an opponent to make turns they should not make.
PS! With a tied score on points (11-11), race win goes to the team without first place (D3.1(d)).
