OK, to be fair, I will change our own course 1. So :

Course 1 : Auck F4 Star
Course 2 : Trap F5
Course 3 : Mars F6 Port
Course 4 : Auck F6
Course 5 : Trap F4 Star
Course 6 : Trap F6
Course 7 : Qing F5 Port

Alberto, if you agree, I will put "trap f4" as course 2.

I know that you know the definition but let me recall here the definition of Keep Clear. After I will connect it with with our case.
"Keep Clear
A boat keeps clear of a right-of-way boat
(a) if the right-of-way boat can sail her course with no need to take avoiding action and,
(b) when the boats are overlapped, if the right-of-way boat can also change course in both directions without immediately making contact."
Please read the TR CALL A2 witch is similar to what we sailed. In you video :
t=30s, I dont respond to your luff because I am able to keep clear even if you go at close-hailed.
t=34s, You are close-hailed and at this moment there would be no immediate contact if you changed course in any direction. So I still keep clear.
t=35s, To continue to keep clear I now must bear down which is the best way to do it.

To end : I must respond to a luff only to keep clear. While I am keeping clear, I may not respond to a luff. I showed above that even when you luffed at close-hauled, I was still keeping clear (from the RRS definition).

re-Bonsoir Alex,

OK I understand now what is your protest.

When 2 boats are so close that if one changes course, that is resulting in an immediate contact then one of them has broken R11. That is not the case in the replay where at every time, FIX could change course without immediate nor delayed contact. In my opinion, JIEL has succeed to keep clear.

OK, thanks You.

re-Hi Sandy,
No need to go to the PC because we withdraw the protest. Like you, I think COL broke 16.1 and I realized that after my message was sent in this forum.
I however disagree with the delay argue because what are 44 seconds when sailing and thinking about the incident. I dont love the method to chat "P" immediatly (immediatly is not asap) to be sure the protest will be valid. But all that is a detail in our affair. Althought numerous penalties you won and deserved the victory : Very Well Done !
