Right of Way Rules
Some
Definitions Starboard Tack
Port Tack
A port tack boat shall keep clear of a
starboard tack boat. Windward Boat
Room Overlap Right of Way
10--- A port tack boat shall keep clear of a
starboard tack boat.
11---A windward boat shall keep clear of a
boat to leeward.
12---A clear astern boat shall keep clear of
a boat clear ahead.
13---While tacking, a boat shall keep clear
of all other boats.
14---A boat shall avoid contact if possible and
maybe disqualified if damage occurs.
15 & 16.1---A boat acquiring right of way or
a right of way boat changing course shall give other boats room to keep clear.
17.1---A leeward boat shall not sail above
her proper course while passing a windward boat.
17.2---A windward boat shall not sail below
her proper course while being passed to leeward. At Marks and Obstructions
18.1---A starting mark is not a mark of the
course, no room need be given.
18.2c---An overlap is considered established
when entering the four boat zone, even if it is broken later.
18.3---A boat which tacks inside the four
boat zone loses her rights to room at the mark.
20---At the start, if recalled, keep clear of
all boats that have started and return to the "right side" of the line around
either end. You have no rights until started properly.
If you commit a foul, you must do a 360
degree penalty circle. It should be done as quickly as possible (clear of other
boats) and before the next mark.
30.1---Dip starts are not permitted. You must
be on the "right side" by rounding either end of the line. 31.2---If you touch a mark, you must do a 360
degree penalty circle after rounding (as soon as possible and keeping clear of
other boats). If it's a starting mark, it is done after starting and if it's a
finish mark, it is done after crossing the line, then returning to the "right
side" of the finish line, and finishing again. While doing penalty turns you
have no rights.
NOTE: At the start, "barging" means trying to squeeze
between a leeward boat and the starting line or starting line mark. Windward
boat must keep clear.
