I was worried about the definition of overlap in this rule. Since we were effectively 90 degrees to each other, I did not know how you would define “overlap”. If you project an orthogonal line outward from the bow and stern, they would not intersect the other boat. Also, Dennis, I did lay the mark. Dave
