32. In 10 knots
of breeze, BoredSailor is
approaching the windward mark of a buoys to starboard course on
starboard tack on a collision course with All's Well who is approaching on
port tack. All's Well
informs BoredSailor that BoredSailor will not have the
right to tack in this situation.
BoredSailor, however,
ignores this and puts the helm hard a-lee right at the mark. All's Well is forced to bear
away violently to avoid putting a hole into BoredSailor. All's Well lodges a valid
protest.
