In a hearing Port would have 2 key points to establish:

- she was clear ahead when she reached a close hauled course;
- Starboard was bearing away -or had just borne away- when there was contact.

Being clear ahead means that any claim that she broke rule 13 would be unlikely to stick
If Starboard was bearing away that eliminates 18.3a

Why does it matter whether the tacking boat reached her close hauled course clear ahead or overlapped to leeward of the other boat?

Because if she was clear ahead there is little chance of proving that Starboard had to avoid Port whilst Port was tacking.

Clear ahead or far enough to leeward, I'd say. Tacking close under a stb boat in the zone is where you leave yourself open. Which is a shame really, as get the timing right and it is a winner.
