 Wouldn't like to be the guy on the outside....having said that the guy on the inside looks like he has either luffed or not long tacked! ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |

Looks like there is plenty of room for that inside guy to round the mark

But will he be able to round in a seaman like manor? Is that the rule?

'Seamanlike manor' pretty much means getting around the mark without hitting anything. It doesnt allow for a 'wide entry close exit' rounding or any hanging around in the vicinity of the mark making a nussance of yourself... |

| I had an incident like that at a Nationals once (I was the boat stuck in irons next to the mark). Although I had no rights to room, the boats on the outside cant just continue as if you arn't there and crash into you as the rules clearly state that you must avoid collisions. The boat outside should sail around the muppet in irons, and then protest him. If damage was caused to the guy in irons he is entitled to protest the guy who hit him, and seek re-dress if he then misses races due to being half sunk and carrying out repairs. |

no the latest rules allow you to more room so that you can take a a racing line, i.e. outside in. you could probably claim that he is tacking in your water though. certainly with that pic as evidence |

errr, im still not quite sure about that james, I think the new rule allows you to take a racing line at the bottom mark (at a gate? ) but not at the top. Can anyone clarify?------------- 600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318 |

I was just trying to think up a witty reply to the idea of a seamanlike manor - maybe where Captain Haddock lives, or the like, but you got there first... ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

It`s more likely that the boats are NOT theirs so no worries!. ------------- Phantom 1181 AC-227 IC 304 blaze / halo 586 |

I believe it is the case. not just at a gate. but i did get muddled up as of course the racing line is tight into a windward mark. my bad. |
