Why not?  Rule 18. Mark room. 

You're not obliged to give room at the start.. are you at the finish?


Yes.

Competitor B needs to inform the race office that he/she is retiring from the race, having broken a rule and not taken a penalty.

No mention what so ever of it not applying at a finish, any big fleet race has tons of people screaming for room at the finish 



That's exactly the scenario

Thank you
