Or at least go up to them after the race and talk to them about it to ask them why they obviously felt that they didn't foul you.



How does one really know if the offender did their turns? You're not required to do them immediately .... only before you complete the race. Right?

44.2 One-Turn and Two-Turns Penalties
After getting well clear of other boats as soon after the incident as possible, a boat takes a One-Turn or Two-Turns penalty by promptly making the required number of turns in the same direction, each turn including one tack and one gybe. When a boat takes the penalty at or near the finishing line, she shall sail completely to the course side of
the line before finishing.


In fleet racing, the above language governs. ASAP means ASAP, not when it is convenient to do so.

Match racing is completely different.
