Alan,

Thanks for the clarification.  I had it about right in my mind but occasionally 
slip back to the earlier rules and want to yell “mast abeam” at somebody.

After the preparatory signal (boats are now racing and must sail by the racing 
rules) but before the starting signal, the leeward boat can sail all the way up 
to head to wind.  After the starting signal, she cannot sail higher than close 
hauled.  Boats must still avoid contact if at all possible.  Crossing the 
starting line has no effect on how rules 11 and 14 are applied.

Alan,
Does Dave Perry’s 2016 RRoS book clarify the difference, if any, between before 
the start and after crossing the starting line regarding Rule 11 and 14?
It has been a while since I read Dave’s last RRoS book but I recall something 
about the right-of-way boat having more flexibility before the starting gun.
