Assuming the OP was in the right, exoneration is small compensation for being rammed amidships.......

Thanks indeed your contributions. I am now reassured that a new rule hasn't sneaked up on me.
However - just to confirm -- My hail of 'clear ahead -- no room' at the zone requires the other boat to give me mark room and that rule outranks port/starboard .. windward/leeward in the zone?

There's no need for a hail (although it can help clarify things). If you are clear ahead at the zone you are entitled to mark room no matter what.
The way the rules are worded is that the actions of a ROW boat are *limited* by part B and part C rules. I sill don't really understand, though, how you could be clear ahead at the zone, and yet the boat behind suddenly gets into a position where you can gybe behind him. |

OK -- I made to gybe when he called 'Windward boat' I figured that if I completed my gybe he would t-bone me at the mark - so I hardened up--spilled - then bore away hard to gybe and cross his transom as he rounded -- simples!

When you were 5 boat lengths from the mark, were the boats overlapped?
