Topic: rules advice please Posted: 04 Oct 14 at 12:22am |
As a fairly novice sailor please could rule experts comment on my recent experience? Conditions wind (F4) with tide, beating to windward. I just tacked onto port to clear a moored cruiser to leeward and down tide. Another boat approaches on starboard. I might well have cleared his bow but he hails ‘starboard’! Not being certain to get past I tack, so now I am also on starboard no more than a boat length in front, both boats similar course. Before our speeds equalise the bow of boat behind bumps my transom (ie there was no overlap), there was no protests. What rules in this situation? Thanks for comments. |
