I had this today too, following behind in a a Star, they flogged sailed to stall, I hit clear astern with no reaction time and was penalised
this isn't illegal, the boat ahead is ROW and the only thing that protects the boat astern is a change of course. if all the boat does is luff sails and no change of course, you have to avoid and you don't get any RRS 16 protection.
the game rules, here, are working right. many other times, the rules engine sucks
Rules are bad in this game!
