With respect to the actual collision. Wave could say... They tried to luff head to wind to BOTH slow down and defend their position. ... Straycats prevented them from luffing head to wind and they broke off the luff to avoid hitting Straycats. Because they could not luff, they were unable to keep clear of Adrenaline. Their boat is not as maneuverable as others... They attempted to avoid the collision but the liability is Stray cats.
I disagree. From what I see on the video, Wave had ample room to luff if necessary after Stray Cats bailed out. Wave CHOSE to continue to bear off in order to get below the pin after her luff. I don't see any reason that Wave can blame Stray Cats for causing her to contact Adrenaline. Wave should have either parked the boat and let Adrenaline sail through, or tack out and do the same thing Stray Cats did.
