As you stipulate... probably not.

Had GE.... stalled their rudders, plowed the bow and just missed Artemis..... That would hardly be viewed as seamanlike... IMO, they could protest and win.


I don't think "seamanlike" enters into this situation. That phrase only appears in reference to mark roundings when talking about "room" to round the mark. It's just time and opportunity in this case - no?
