Arcona 460 IdaLina sjönk efter att hjÀrtstocken gÄtt av
Inte sĂ„ kul. Det Ă€r ju sĂ„nt hĂ€r man Ă€r orolig för nĂ€r man Ă€r lĂ„ngt frĂ„n land. FrĂ„gan Ă€r om man hade kunnat undvika detta genom att droppa rodret och sedan tĂ€ta pĂ„ nĂ„t sĂ€tt? Det Ă€r nog helt omöjligt att fĂ„ styr pĂ„ en hjĂ€rtstock som löper amok. Visa detta inlĂ€gg pĂ„ Instagram […]
SpektakulÀrt i Middelfart
Efter tuffa race i bĂ„de BohuslĂ€n och runt Gotland sĂ„ borde det lugna ner sig dĂ„ det blir matchracingsĂ€song? Dels Ă€r det ju Match Cup i Marstrand och sĂ„ seglas det VM för damer i Middelfart.

Svensk mÀstare i haverier?
Jag trĂ€ffade Niklas Krantz 2015. DĂ„ var han fortfarande pĂ„ SVT men hade startat sittbrunnen.se. och funderade pĂ„ vad han skulle göra framĂ„t. DĂ„ var det vĂ„rt projekt kring Fastnet som stod i fokus. Och att vi tog tag i en dröm vi haft och till sist gjorde slag i saken. Jag vet att vi […]

Om Topas hade fallit av isf att lova hade skadorna antagligen blivit mindre. Inte lika pinsamt som misstaget av Svea, men ÀndÄ. Det Àr vÀl antagligen proffs som beslutar ombord.

Min kĂ€nsla Ă€r att manövrarna tar lite tid đ och att det antagligen inte gĂ„r att hĂ€va den lovning som pĂ„börjades för 30 sekunder sedan?
En fallning funkar i vÄra bÄtar, men Àven dÀr blir timingen delikat.

Protesten Àr avgjord.
Involved parties:
TOPAZ â Peter Holmberg
SVEA â 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 avoid when 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.
