Question 1
Blue and Yellow are approaching a mark to be left to starboard. Rule 17.1
does not apply to Blue. What is the latest time that Blue may luff?
Answer 1
From the moment that the boats are about to pass the mark, rule 18 begins
to apply. From this moment, if Blue luffs and thereafter bears away in
order to give Yellow room or to pass the mark, then Blue breaks rule 18.
If Blue is able to luff without the need to bear away later, then Yellow
is required to keep clear, and rule 11 applies. |
