Hi all,
Please have a look at the 8'35'' incident of the attached replay.
Rules involved 16.1 and 16.2, to keep clear definition needed as well.
Harald cannot argue Jiel broke 16.1 because he had the whole sea behind me to keep clear.
Harald cannot argue Jiel broke 16.2 because this rule applies on a beat to windward.
On my side, I argue Harald broke rule 10 because he didnt keep clear which would had implied that I could change course without immediately making contact. In sailing too close to me, Harald failed to keep clear.
