(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.)    Couldn't Blue have turned to the right?

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.
