At 5:48 #48 fouled #09 (Rule 10). The collision pushed #09 onto Port tack. At 5:51 #48 does a penalty turn. But #09, now on Port tack and dead in the water, fouls #24 and #52 (Rule 10). Beginning with #48, seven boats round the mark ahead of #09. #48 should have continued taking penalty turns until her advantage over #09 was negated (Rule E4.3(b)). In my opinion #09 should be exonerated for fouling #24 and #52, as this contact did not influence their relative positions. However, #48 should be disqualified for not fulfilling Rule E4.3(b).
