Case 2:
In
the photo below, which I changed to a mirror image
to make the
situation more interesting, W286 is completing his
beat as the Laser
starts his
run. They are in the zone. |
Answer: No. Rule 18 does not apply between two boats where one is leaving the mark and the other is approaching it. Thus, the regular r-o-w rules apply. W286 is on port tack, the Laser is on starboard tack. Thus, the Laser has the right of way because rule 10 applies. However, under rule 16, he may not alter course in a way that makes it impossible for the Wayfarer to keep clear. |
