When, after having been clear astern, a boat becomes
overlapped to leeward within two of her hull lengths of the
other boat, the windward boat must keep clear, but the
leeward boat must initially give the windward boat room to
keep clear and must not sail above her proper course. The
proper course of the windward boat is not relevant.
