Case 41:
In
the photo below, Flying Scots 4921 and 3307 (r)
collide as they
round the leeward mark. Who has fouled
whom here? Explain.
Answer:
Scot 4921 is inside windward and has fouled the Scot
to leeward of him
by taking much more room than required to make the
seamanlike
rounding that is all that rule 18
and the mark-room
definition entitle
him to. This case is basically the same as #34, but
this
aspect of the Rules is so frequently misunderstood
that I feel it's
worth repeating!!
