I am hoping that someone can clarify the actual rules related to an incident that I was involved in last weekend. The race was a “fun” race, so no yelling, but I did not know who had rights. We had huge wind shifts approaching the windward mark and I was in a position where I was close hauled, just making the mark (to port) on starboard tack. A much larger boat was approaching the mark also on starboard tack but from a different direction. He had vastly over stood the mark due to the wind shift so he was coming in on a reach and due to get there at the same time as me. We both entered the zone around the mark at about the same time although he was going faster so it was hard to tell. After several polite requests, he gave me inside room. Who has rights in that situation since there was never really an overlap until we both got to the mark? Thanks- Dave
