9. Spirit
of Spam (starboard) is reaching along a not very crowded line in
10 knots of breeze. If he holds his course, he will cross behind Meat
Cleaver who is starting on port. When the boats are one length
apart,
the gun goes. Spirit of Spam heads up to
close-hauled
and crunches Meat Cleaver,
putting a big dent into her rub rail. Both boats immediately
protest. |
