I believe you could have protested both boats. Rule 60.1 allows a right to
protest if your boat is "involved in or saw the incident". Assuming that you
hailed but didn't go up to avoid a collision, and middle boat did likewise, I
think a committee would find against third boat and exonerate the boat nearest
you, which feels right. Dave Perry's "100 Best Racing Rules Quizzes" is great
winter reading.
I may be all wet.
