Oppostie Gybes, leeward Mark

Quote:-

Mark-Room Room for a boat to sail to the mark, and then room to sail her proper course while at the mark. However, mark-room does not include room to tack unless the boat is overlapped to windward and on the inside of the boat required to give mark-room.

"To" has no special definition, so it's from the "mark room circle" to the mark. It's difficult to interpret as "sailing high then gybing" because it doesn't refer to "proper course". It's a bit like going from Land's End to John O'Groats - via Amsterdam.

Mark-room to sail to the mark may include room to gybe, that is room to handle and deploy your sails and spars in a seamanlike way, if gybing is the seamanlike thing to do, but only as long as you do not change course off your course to the mark.

Nope:  just make them come up in a pop-up box 'on-hover'.

For a hard copy print version having them on the very last page as they are at present is the most accessible option.

I do believe the Mark Room does include room to gybe (if required). This is where things might get a little hazy as how much room do you need to gybe, esp. id you have a drop to do as well....

Personally I find it easier to try and stay out of trouble and minimise any loss from getting stuck on the outside.

The other way is of course to try and sail tactically and cut back inside or not let them get the overlap in the first place. Difficuly I grant you when you might be dead running with a assymetric sailing the angles.
