B1

Answer 1
No penalty.

Y completes her tack at position 3 without breaking rules 13 or 15. The mark must be
rounded to starboard so rule 18.3 does not apply. Y becomes clear ahead, and B is
required by rule 12 to keep clear, which she does.

Question 2

Y is approaching a starboard-hand windward mark on port. Y passes head to wind in
the zone, becomes clear ahead of B and then immediately overlapped to windward of
her. B is on the layline, and does not give Y mark-room, forcing Y to pass the wrong
side of the mark. Y protests. What should the call be?
