And I thought I was pointlessly nitpicking <g>.

There I was thinking I'd broken it down into simple, clear steps, and once again Brass manages to make it clearer and simpler!

Was there contact?
If B altered course and immediately made contact with A it would seem a very clear case of 16.1. B is not obliged to anticipate or take account of A altering course as she rounds the mark. Even if A was still tacking B cannot alter course in order to hit her. If A was able to avoid B despite them changing course then by definition A must have given her room to keep clear, so no rule broken.. If B, altering course has to adjust or delay her manoeuvre in order to avoid A then she is obliged to do so in order to initially give room to keep clear. Again no rule broken. The only other scenario I can see is if B rounded up onto a steady course and came into conflict with A a few seconds later, with B having made no attempt to avoid in the intervening time. From the description there doesn't seem to have been space for this to have happened in this case. |

16.1 When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other
boat room to keep clear. |

two similar dinghies A & B are rounding a leeward mark which has to be left to starboard.
On entering the zone A is nearly two boat lengths ahead of B. A does a poor rounding ( not close to the mark) and about a boat length after rounding tacks onto port. They have completed their tack by the time B rounds the mark. B does a much closer rounding than A and stays on Starboard tack and calls “ starboard “ on boat A. Boat A contends that they were keeping clear but boat B altered course in the action of rounding the mark and so they were unable to keep clear. Discuss.
