Seeing as how we've got our pedant hats on, Y's obligation is not to 'avoid' G. It is to keep clear of G. But Y's proper course is not only the course necessary to keep clear of G: it is the course she would sail to best speed. Y could sail somewhat hotter than as illustrated so as to avoid turbulence from G (or indeed, to avoid tempting G to luff aggressively), and that would still be her proper course.
