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 a Two-Turn Penalty, claiming that Titanic had not given her room to keep clear.
