Three boats are approaching the windward mark to be left to port. S, on starboard tack, is slightly above the starboard-tack layline, and hails, "Starboard!" Two port-tack boats, PL and PW, are approaching just below the port-tack layline, PL, to leeward, hails, "Room to tack." PW responds by tacking to starboard, immediately followed by PL. Both boats tack in the zone and complete their tacks without interfering with S. PW then luffs sharply up to nearly head to wind to round the mark. PL and S luff sharply above a close-hauled course as well to avoid contact. S protests. You are on the protest committee; how would you decide this?
PW is disqualified for breaking rules 16.1, Changing Course, and 18.3, Tacking in the Zone.
