At a mark rounding I once told a Melges 32 helmsman he would need a liferaft before a protest flag if he stuck his nose in there. With mixed fleets of RV class heavy displacement boats (like Calypso) along with lightweight sporty boats the mark roundings can get exciting.

In that case, the race judges will default to less arbitrary facts than who was in the zone at what time and whether or not they were overlapped. As Edd said, "close hulled AND windward." It is hard to misinterpret those facts. Now whether or not it is worth the fight is a whole other story. Maybe they will be in a position to give you a little leeway on the next leg.

Draw a line perpendicular across his stern and your whole boat was likely in front because of the very different angles his boat was sailing. Kim Brown TrustMe!!! 35-3
