Very good videos indeed!! Finally someone who explains it slowly!!!! Very good!!!🙂 In all other videos on this topic, everything is told at the usual UA-cam speed. You can't learn it that way. I wish you could explain the overlap with an over 90 degrees and Impossible the wide range of rules for matchracing👍
You said rule 10 applied, but I thought it only applied in the zone when two boats were on a beat to windward on opposite tacks, here they were going downwind, so the inside boat was entitled to mark room because they were overlapped when entering the zone. Am I right when saying rule 10 doesn’t apply here?
Both vessels should have avoided each other, because no one was getting any prize money anyhow. Too many 'hot dogs' out there crashing boats for zero gain.
It was not possible for the inside boat to turn without its stern going across. The stern needs room to swing across when the rudder is put over. The inside boat was crowded too close by the outside port tack boat. Avoiding contact was not possible unless the stb boat kept going straight.
The stb boat could have luffed (while still on stb) forcing the port boat to also gybe onto stb - becoming a windward/leeward situation - as a way to give him the message to "go away, give me more room" OR; - the stb boat could have taken the port boat onwards for a considerable distance in the wrong direction (I had someone do this to me in a world championships while all the boats behind went on around the mark and we both lost many many places and distance). The inside boat has both stb rights and buoy room rights and doesn't have to go around the mark ("proper course" does not apply).
Exactly! I almost always avoid getting into a situation with other boats if possible. Fighting with one boat out of the whole fleet is the best way to get into last place.
Not according to this video.... it claims that the starboard boat is not free to continue on past its proper course to round the mark, per 18.4 That is the question I have: in general does right of way nullify mark room when the right of way boat is the one that also is entitled to mark room?

I love what you’re doing here!

Right on. I see so many boats arguing pathetic technicalities. Try match racing, which is all about exercising right of way.
