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? |

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'. |

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?

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.

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 |

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.

Nope, no obligation at all.

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

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.
