ARGUE...

Yes... that is the problem.... WAVE will link the two events and say that first foul caused the second foul... It's an argument that takes into account his boats limitations on steering... If not for Stray cat... he has no problems.. Blame Sraycat for the whole thing.

OR
Wave could also argue that Adrenaline did not fall off to proper course after the start (which is not going to be observed in the video but WAVE saw Adrenaline come up)... Adrenaline will say.... no such action by me... I was not changing course....

Without a hearing... no judge is going to evaluate the collisions. They are explaining the rules applications.

For the sake of argument... the RRS could pitch two of the three boats or even all three boats.... NOW what do the three insurance companies do?

We are back in the responsibility versus liability conundrum.
In the end... if the RRS were not in place (per Mary)... but everyone thinks they are using some version of them... Now what?

PS... the rules are there so everyone has a fair shot at having fun...
