proper course again

always · Do remember that if a boat establishes an overlap to leeward from astern is it their proper course and not your proper course that counts so assymetrics sailing a hot angles can still push you up.

If boat L establishes an overlap on boat W from clear astern within 2 boat lengths to leeward of W, then L must not sail above HER proper course.

I get that now, but WHAT IF:

Boat L establishes the overlap on boat W from clear astern OUTSIDE 2 boat lengths to leeward?

Is it R11 and can L luff W?

Thanks in advance as always.

	Consider the structure of RRS Part 2 When Boats Meet: Section A (rules 10 to 13) Right of Way; Section B (rules 14 to 17) General Limitations; Section C (rules 18 to 21) At Marks and Obstructions; and Section D (rules 22 to 24) Other Rules. There's always a give way boat, and there's always a right of way boat entitled to be kept clear of. Then you have the limitations.
