Many years ago I raced in a Viking 28 fleet with a judge. He loved to make up complex rules on the fly. He was always prepared to back off if anyone ever called him on it but no one ever did. Don Newman ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo

Colregs rule 2b takes precedence over the racing rules of sailing in all cases, you must take action to avoid a collision even if it means violating the rules. It's the same rule for you Canadian guys, too. That doesn't mean I've not pushed the racing rules a time or two. I've even been so

I am hoping that someone can clarify the actual rules related to an incident that I was involved in last weekend. The race was a “fun” race, so no yelling, but I did not know who had rights. We had huge wind shifts approaching the windward mark and I was in a position where I was close

David, If you both entered the zone at the same time, you are entitled to mark room. Furthermore, you were the leeward boat. So, raise that red flag and bitch slap him in the protest room. Oh, you said it was a fun race? In that case, raise the flag and politely demonstrate your

Like Edd said, you had rights as the leeward boat and, as leeward boat entering the two boat length circle, you carried those rights into the circle. I would place less emphasis on rights as inside boat unless you are ABSOLUTELY positive you were laying the mark. Consider this, a boat

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

David Agreed you are entitled to room- at least enough for a seamanlike rounding - Another way to look at it is that you had an overlap - probably well outside of the zone. Draw a line perpendicular across his stern and your whole boat was likely in front because of the very different angles

David, I agree with Kim - look up the definition of overlap. If he was bearing down on you on the same tack the line through his stern, perpendicular to the centerline of *his* boat should be behind your stern, and likewise a line through your stern perpendicular to *your* centerline would be

If you're inside and not laying the mark you can head up--as long as you don't go past head-to-wind and still be entitled to room. Sailing in a 30-boat one design fleet will expose you to pretty much all these situations! Andy CC 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA

Actually, you had an inside overlap. There is no requirement for boats to be in close proximity to one another for an overlap to exist. You were clear ahead until the other boat established an overlap to windward of you. The only way for the other boat to have had rights would be if it became
