Facts found

The windward mark is left to port. S has been on starboard tack since before she entered the zone and is fetching the mark. P comes in on port tack, passes head to wind inside the zone and completes her tack just ahead and to leeward of S. To avoid her, S has to sail above close-hauled. No contact. S protests.

You are on the protest committee.
