SailGP Final Aarus

I think SailGP have modified rules. Even so still not clear to me how that was a penalty.

'Similarly to boundaries, marks have a circle zone around them of 45m in diameter with the mark at its center.
When boats overlap as they enter the mark zone, the boat on the inside must be given room to go around the mark. The boat on the outside must allow the inside boat to take the turn as they wish.
When boats are not overlapped, the boat that entered the zone first has the right to go around the mark.'

	So at what point did 'Japan' (aka Australia 3) not have room to round either mark in a seamanlike manner? I'm asking because I would like to know.
