If no request is forthcoming at the end of this time period, the decision will stand. The Race Committee also has the same possibility to reopen the case.

 

The other competitors in the race also have the right to ask for redress within 6 hours of being informed of the decision, if they consider they are affected by the jury's decision.

 

Here are the details of the protest lodged by the Race Committee against Cheminées Poujoulat, the procedures, the facts as they have been presented, the conclusion and the jury's decision.

29 12 at 10h40 Bernard Stamm sends the Jury his report.

 

Facts found

 

On 22 12, Bernard Stamm decides to change course toward the Auckland Islands in order to repair the hydro generators.

 

Until 23 12 at 04h00, Bernard Stamm sails by his own means to Sandy Bay, prepared to anchor.

 

At 04h53, Bernard Stamm anchors in the bay after having unsealed the engine and the heavy anchor.

 

At 20h00, Bernard Stamm notices the presence of a Russian scientific ship Professeur Khoromov moored close to his position. Then, within half an hour, Bernard Stamm notices his boat is drifting.

 

Seeing the boat is drifting toward the ship, Bernard Stamm calls her by VHF. During the chat with the crew, they propose to moor his boat to the ship.

 

Considering this is an emergency situation, Bernard Stamm decides to use the ship as a mooring and informs the crew of his decision by VHF.

 

Then Bernard Stamm prepares the boat to move, sets the sails and turns on all devices .
Coming back in the cockpit, Bernard Stamm notices that a person from the ship is on board his boat and has begun to recover the anchor.

 

Bernard Stamm starts the engine and turns on the auto helm, then goes to the bow to recover the anchor.

 

Bernard Stamm decides not to ask this person to leave the boat "when I saw him on board I did not find any reason that could justify to send him back from the board".

 

Bernard Stamm comes back to the engine controls and at the helm and the person at the bow throws the line on the Russian boat to make it fast.
Immediately afterwards, the person leaves Cheminées Poujoulat and returns to his RIB.

 

Once the boat has been correctly moored behind the Professeur Khoromov, Bernard Stamm goes to say hello to the two people in the RIB, and then they offer help. At this time, Bernard Stamm explains clearly the situation, that he is racing, that he is not entitled to any help.

 

Bernard Stamm considers that this was a case of absolute necessity for which it was needed to act in order to secure the boat and to prevent creating a problem for the ship moored nearby.

 

Conclusion

 

Mooring to another boat is a breach of the first sentence of NOR 3.2.

 

By not asking the person on his boat to leave when he discovered him, Bernard Stamm broke the second sentence of NOR 3.2.
The mooring of Cheminées Poujoulat to the Professeur Khoromov was made with the help of the person on board and the crew of the Professeur Khoromov. This is a breach to the second sentence of NOR 3.2.

 

Even though not requested, the assistance received from the crew member by Cheminées Poujoulat to secure the Cheminées Poujoulat and to prevent creating problem for the Professeur Khoromov constitutes a breach to NOR 3.2, and the material contact with another boat by mooring to her constitutes a breach to NOR 3.2 and to the principle of NOR 3.
