When a boat with right of way is required to give another
boat room for a manoeuvre, right of way does not transfer
to the boat entitled to room. When, in reply to her call for
room to tack when approaching an obstruction, a boat is
hailed ‘You tack’, and when she does so and is then able to
tack again to keep clear in a seamanlike way, the other
boat has given the room required.
