37. Iceberg was overtaking Titanic Too on a broad reach in 10 knots of breeze since she
was flying a spinnaker but Titanic was not. The boats were sailing parallel
courses, about one half boatlength apart, as shown at far left until Iceberg's bow was about half a length aft of the
bow of Titanic Too. At
this point, Titanic luffed
rapidly. Iceberg luffed up
as quickly as possible but collided with Titanic who was able to luff
more quickly since she was not flying a spinnaker. Titanic lodged a valid protest
but Iceberg refused to do
Penalty Turns, claiming that Titanic had not given her room to keep clear.
