From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List Sent: Friday, September 21, 2018 2:38 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Hoyt, Mike Subject: Re: Stus-List Colregs question for boats not in an organized race Under RRS a ROW (right of Way) boat is required to leave room for Keep Clear boat to avoid ROW. Below is from RRS 2017-20. Rule 10 was in play when you met since the other boat was on STBD Rule 11 would apply after their tack was completed Rule 13 was likely broken by the other boat. Also see rule 16.1 and 16.2 If I was racing and this happened to me I would immediately protest based on Rule 16.1 and possibly 16.2 both of which were violated by the other boat. I think that despite all of the other rules the cardinal one that was violated was the boat with ROW not giving Keep Clear boat room to keep clear The collision regulations governed that situation rather than RRS but they are very similar since bother were sailing boats. With Colregs http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._1416/page-3.html#docCont rule 17 discusses action by Stand On vessel (the other boat). Rule 16 describes the Give Way vessel requirements. Hope this helps if any action comes of this. My interpretation is that you were in the process of keeping clear but the “well clear” part may be a concern Mike
