Proper Course

   She can, she can even deliberately soak low to get the overlap and then heat it up while overlapped to her proper course. Of course I suspect you know that.

	There's that word again. Why may leeward not ~~luff~~ change course towards the wind to respond to a windshift, or even if she reasonably decides that she is not sailing a hot enough angle? Edited by Brass - 14 Nov 15 at 10:21pm

	Leeward may not luff, but may continue sailing the course they were before the boats met, and if windward has to change course to keep clear then windward must.

	Yes and yes, but hailing "Leeward boat" is odd. Surely just shouting "up" would suffice.

	Assuming that you are Boat A - una rigged single hander sailing dead down wind on port tack on the running leg of a w/l course. Boat B (same class)is sailing angles on this same leg and comes from behind and to leeward hailing leeward boat Is B sailing their proper course and can they instigate a luff from astern ?
