Almost impossible to call from that angle, but my money would be on the red spinnaker boat copping the penalty there. (Confusingly not the boat actually called RED - which is the white spinnaker boat)
Very much doubt that either boat would see that as a real "fault" incident though. Just one of those things.
Very surprised to see RED broaching in that situation though - those guys are **** hot.

Interesting from a damage point of view the difference that having a bowsprit can make. Looked like a relatively small puncture through the hull of Red.
Sans proboscis, the attacking stem head would have made a bigger hole with lots more crushing etc.
My experience is of course only with fibreglass. Any modern hull specialists comment?

That's more like it. This is much more fun than the 59s video posting in your Perception of Yachties thread
