TR CALL B2

Rule 11 On the Same Tack, Overlapped
Rule 13 While Tacking
Rule16.1 Changing Course
Definitions Keep Clear

Question 1

Boats B and Y are overlapped and B, the windward boat, is keeping clear. Y
luffs head to wind, B luffs in response, and both reach head to wind, side by
side. B continues to change course and passes through head to wind. As a result
B makes contact with Y. There is a protest. What should the call be?

B2

Y2
B1

Y1

Answer 1
When Y luffs, if she fails to give B room to respond and keep clear, penalize Y.

If B could have kept clear, but either responds too slowly or not enough, or
over-rotates, then B breaks rule 11 or 13. Penalize B.

Question 2

In similar circumstances, Y luffs without breaking rule 16 and B responds.
When head to wind B maintains this position when she could have tacked off.
Slightly later Y bears away and their sterns make contact. There is a protest.
What should the call be?
