Is it an obligation to to call "Starboard"? I've looked through the RRS, and there's no indication that there's an obligation on the part of the ROW boat other than to allow room to avoid.

That is my understanding as well - although the fact that did hail Starboard would stand you in good stead at a protest meeting.

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Toms right, the only two neccessary hails are 'Protest' and Room to tack for and obsruction.
I don't mind a Hail however as, i prefer people to let me know their there even if it looks obvious i can see them.

No. However the sound of graunching fiberglass can ruin your whole day. If I can see the helm of the other boat is watching me I won't hail. If they are not, I will. Edited by blueboy - 11 Apr 11 at 11:52am |

of course, it's a really stupid idea to shout starboard if you're on port. Nearly lamped my helm for that one, even though it was just him being thick, not malicious.

if you do call starboard, do you then have to hold your course? or could you shout starboard, make another boat tack away and the tack yourself?

I don't think calling Starboard means anything or forces you to not tack, it has as much effect to the rules as shouting 'Cheese'. |

but you have made the other boat change course when he did not have to, want to or need to.
is that just hard luck on the other boat? |

Yes. Happens all the time. Not necessarily intentionally either. If P does a well-executed lee-bow tack S will need to tack off. Of course S might have done better to wave P across if P is in a position to do that. |
