Facts Found Vincero (to leeward) and Quary Largo (to windward) were sailing nearly square square on port gybe approaching the leewad mark.  Insufficient evidence that an overlap was established by Quay Largo at the 3 boat length zone.  In the vicinity of the mark, contact between the yachts ensued, caused by Quary Largo's failure to keep clear.
Conclusion and rules that apply

Quay Largo infringed rule RRS Rule 18.2(b)

Decision Quay Largo is disqualified
