Protests

Race Committee vs Bullistic

Protest Withdrawn

After Midnight vs Cantilena

DECISION OF PROTEST COMMITTEE

Island Bay Race

AFTER MIDNIGHT V CANTILENA

Protestor: After Midnight

Represented by: Kate Beckett

Protestee: Cantilena

Cantilena was not represented

Procedural Matters

The protest was heard at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club on 6 November 2019.

No representative of Cantilena attended the hearing. The Protest Committee decided the protest in her absence, pursuant to Rule 63.3(a).

The evidence at the hearing was that Cantilena failed to sail the correct course, which gave her an advantage in the race. Evidence was that she knew that she sailed the wrong course and failed to retire after being invited to do so by the protest convener. The protest committee found she had committed a breach of good sportsmanship, under Rule 2.

It subsequently became known that Cantilena had emailed the protest convener of her intention to retire, prior to the protest hearing. The Protest Committee then reopened the hearing pursuant to Rule 66.

Facts Found

  1. Cantilena did not round leading light, which was a rounding mark of the course.
  2. Cantilena retired after finishing the race.

Conclusions

  1. Cantilena did not sail the course and broke Rule 28

Rules Applicable – 28

Decision

Cantilena, having retired, is not penalized further.
