Racing Rules Of Sailing 2009 - 2012 from USSailing (newer version just came out) Rule 11, Boats on same tack and overlapped; a windward boat shall keep clear of a leeward boat Rule 12, Boats on same tack not overlapped: a boat clear astern shall keep clear of a boat clear ahead.
(Both boats were on starboard tack, Blue overtaking and passing Camelot. Camelot hardened up but did not actually luff, so Blue should have kept clear. ) Rule 14, A boat should avoid contact with another boat if reasonably possible. However, a right-of-way boat. . . need not act to avoid contact until it is clear that the other boat is not keeping clear or giving room. . . (Camelot was in her rights to turn upwind but should have taken action to avoid contact when it was obvious Blue could not.)

Luff and dive? Blue was 5-10 seconds early. This is better than bottom paint and barnacles we still have some snow to melt! Len Mitchell Crazy Legs Midland On.
