HEARING 6: MILLENIUM v BIG A MILLENIUM claimed that BIG A bore down on her 10 seconds before the start causing her to bear away to avoid a collision. 2. HEARING 7: MILLENIUM v LAWANA MILLENIUM claimed that LAWANA approached the start line on a beam reach and bore down on BIG A who was windward of MILLENIUM, forcing both BIG A and MILLENIUM to bear away to avoid collision. FACT: MILLENIUM displayed the protest flag 2 minutes after the incident. |
