There is actually no contact, but when VSK calls 12 or 15, it should considered contact.
The boat ahead beared away, which moved the stern towards to boat behind...
Who to penalize? Boat behind for 12 or boat ahead for 16.1?

If there would have been no contact if the boat ahead did not bear away, didn't the boat behind initially keep clear?
2. By bearing away, did the boat ahead give the boat behind room to keep clear?
