When in doubt, put tiller towards trouble Scuttlebutt Sailing News Published on March 18th, 2020 by Craig Leweck, Scuttlebutt Sailing News
The collision between two J Class yachts has captivated our sport. Not often do these 140+ footerscompete, and when they do, all effort is made to maintain safe distances. But to have a T-bone collision, and for it to be on video, has given voice to significant commentary. This observation by Jack Karabasz is similar to many: ...
Entendendo as Regras Ricardo Lobato, Criado: 05 Junho 2017
Understanding the rule 14, avoiding contact This is probably one of the most forgotten rule in the book. Most of unexperienced protest committees will not apply this rule unless one boat says, during a hearing, she hit the other boat deliberately to produce an evidence.
However, in most incidents involving contact, at least one boat will have broken rule 14. All boats should avoid contact if reasonable possible, but the rule acknowledges that it is not always ‘reasonable possible’ to avoid a contact, but that is not acceptable as an excuse for not making every effort to avoid collision. Usually, a boat that fails to keep clear or does not give room or mark room also breaks rule 14 if there is contact, even without damage. A misjudgment by or a delay from the keep-clear boat cannot be justified as an excuse, even when at the last moment the boat makes every effort to avoid the collision. Poor seamanship is no excuse for breaking rule 14.（言い訳にならない）
The rule is softer for the right-of-way boat. She will only be penalized if the contact causes damage or injury....
When a massive collision occurred between two J Class yachts competing in the 2020 Superyacht Challenge Antigua, this frightening moment for these 130-foot monsters was captured on video. Here is the Protest Decision:ダウンロード - protestjclass.pdf
-------------------------------------------------------- Involved parties: TOPAZ – Peter Holmberg SVEA – Charles Ogletree
Procedural matters: This is a hearing conducted under J Class Addendum Q. Q5.3 allows the protest committee great flexibility on how the hearing is conducted.After a very significant collision we decided to speak with both parties separately to see if they agreed the facts. They were happy for us to write up the decision without a formal hearing.
Facts found: 1. Topaz was approaching the start line on Starboard approximately 1 minute 40 seconds before the start. 2. Svea on port was on a collision course with Topaz. 3. Despite a last minute turn to bear away, Svea collided with the port side of Topaz at the runner winch causing serious damage. 4. Topaz luffed to avoidwhen it was clear Svea was not keeping clear. 5. On Topaz two crew members were injured with one crew member suffering 4 broken ribs as he was pushed overboard by the bow of Svea. On Topaz, the port runner winch was torn off. The boom was broken. Both running back stays, mainsheet, and backstay broke under the load. The port gunwale was damaged from the runner winch to the stern. The mast was put under extreme load from the impact and will need further inspection. 6. On Svea, one crew member was pulled out of the boat by the runner tail of Topaz. His injuries were minor. The forward underbody of Svea was badly damaged. 7. Both boats immediately retired from the race.
Conclusion Rules: RRS 10,14, 44.1(b) 62.1(b), Q5.3 Svea failed to keep clear as a port tack boat and broke rule 10, 14. It was not reasonably possible for Topaz to avoid the collision.
Decision: Svea took the appropriate penalty by retiring. Topaz is entitled to redress of average points for Race 1 based on her results in the remainder of the regatta.
Racing Rules of Sailing: Rule 10: When boats are on opposite tacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat.
Rule 14: A boat shall avoid contact with another boat if reasonably possible. However, a right-of-way boat or one entitled to room or mark-room (a) need not act to avoid contact until it is clear that the other boat is not keeping clear or giving room or mark-room, and (b) shall be exonerated if she breaks this rule and the contact does not cause damage or injury.
ADDENDUM Q - J CLASS 2020 Q5.3 (a) Protests and requests for redress need not be in writing. (b) The protest committee may inform the protestee and schedule the hearing in any way it considers appropriate and may communicate this orally. (c) The protest committee may take evidence and conduct the hearing in any way it considers appropriate and may communicate its decision orally. (d) If the protest committee decides that a breach of a rule has had no effect on the outcome of the race, it may impose a penalty of points or fraction of points or make another arrangement it decides is equitable, which may be to impose no penalty. (e) If the protest committee penalizes a boat in accordance with instruction Q5.3 or if a standard penalty is applied, all other boats will be informed about the change of the penalized boat’s score.

With four J Class yachts competing in the 10th anniversary of the Superyacht Challenge Antigua on March 12-15, it was the strongest class fleet since the 2017 J Class World Championship. However, disaster soon struck as during the final minutes leading into the start of Race 1, a collision occurred between Svea and Topaz. Both boats sustained damage and immediately retired from racing, with two crew members requiring medical attention. Both boats are no longer able to participate.
