Facts found
On a reaching leg after the start, L becomes overlapped from clear astern, within two of her hull lengths to leeward of W. Two lengths later L luffs hard, well above the course she would sail to the next mark. W has no time to respond; the boats touch. No damage, no injury. W protests.
You are on the protest committee.
