Protest 8
Race Committee v Ocean Agassy (Race 2)
Abstract

Race Committee protested OCEAN AGASSY claiming she hit a mark. Alex from LUANA gave evidence that he too saw OCEAN AGASSY hit the mark. However neither witness actually saw OCEAN AGASSY hit the mark, rather they concluded that she hit the mark from seeing the mark laying flat and then coming upright as OCEANAGASSY passed the mark. The Race Committee was 250 metres away, and LUNA was 7 boat-lengths to leeward, and the Jury was not satisfied from the evidence that OCEAN AGASSY hit the mark.
Facts Found

1. Witness saw the mark move as Ocean Agassy rounded the mark.
2. No witness saw Ocean Agassy make contact with the mark.
