12. Tom's Revenge (starboard) is
sitting close-hauled with sails luffing on a not very crowded line in
10 knots of breeze as shown at left. Teddy-O is starting on port and
looks likely to be crossing Tom's
Revenge by about one boatlength. As the gun goes, Tom's Revenge and Teddy-O are 2 lengths apart. Tom's Revenge pulls in his sails
and his boat leaps ahead, carving a goodly slice out of Teddy-O. Both lodge valid
protests.
