I'd say Scally-oh got good karma comeuppance. Collision while burdened, (overtaking), tore out the leach via the mast of a leeward boat. Stole the mark as well. Can we say DNF? DSQ?
Barge much? (FP)

Since when has overtaking boat been a racing rule? Or, for that matter, 'burdened'?

Leeward boat (TP52 Zingara carrying a Quantum branded jib?) was 100% right. I can hear the calls. "Up, up, up. You can't come in here. Windward yacht keep clear. Up, up, up. Riiiip... Protest."
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.

Until then I will assume that they were barging at the start?
I was of the thinking that the windward boat has privilege otherwise.

Contact occurred inside the three boatlength zone of the starboard end of the line after the gun. Blame might fall on lady mariposa to leeward for holding up zingera who held up witty.

From the preamble to Section C (of which R18 is a part) of the rules
"Section C rules do not apply at a starting marksurrounded by navigable water or at its anchor line from the time boats are approaching them to startuntil they have passed them."

Comments on the team FB page are even less flattering.

Mad, all I’m seeing is a retirement. No idea if there’s been a protest filed or heard. Though the insurance claim on a $250,000 mainsail probably requires one. With a severed leech line, that thing is toast. I imagine the superyacht molds are firing up in Minden NV as we speak.
That's a good point: can North verify that all orders for Minden sails will be built in order received?

Good point, that’s going to be a hefty bill for someone! Think it was a new main as well for the season, not exactly the best start after the refit.

Not sure where you get that from - read RRS 11. If you watch from the start and look where boats are I would say it is safe to say that none of the boats have any RRS 17 restrictions. They all have luffing rights on their windward boat. Except for Scallywag that is.

A protest was filed under both RRS11 and RRS12.

Didn't say it was a racing rule. Since when do the RRS excuse one from the normal Rules of the Road? Most RRS specify nuances for racers in specific circumstances but don't truly change the responsibility to follow the Rules of the Road, Rule 13 in this case.. Please feel free to correct me if they also 'excuse' one from the normal rules of the road.
