When three boats are on the same tack and two of them are
overlapped and overtaking the third from clear astern, if
the leeward boat astern becomes overlapped with the boat
ahead, the boat ahead is no longer an obstruction, and rule
19.2(b) does not apply. There are no situations in which a
row of boats sailing close to one another is a continuing
obstruction.
