3 |
Joyridin' (CAN 491) |
vs |
1 4 Suprise (USA 142)
|
Findings of fact: both boats were on Starboard talk about half way up the first beat with Joyriding to leftward and on a converging course with surprise. Joyriding hailed for right of way but surprise did not respond. As the boats converged, surprise hit Joyriding on the stern and spun Joyriding around across surprises bow. Both boats became entangled at this point. Joyriding flew a protest flag, informed surprise of the protest and notified the race committee of the incident and their subsequent withdrawal from the race. Surprise subsequently withdrew from the race after completing two penalty turns. Joyriding suffered non minor damage as a result of the collision.
Result: Surprise is found to be at fault due to Rule 11 (windward/leeward). Because of the damage that occurred, surprises penalty turns do not exonerate her.
