Question 2 In the pre-start, Blue and Yellow overlapped on port tack approach the outer end of a dock. Before the boats are about to pass the obstruction on the same side, Yellow, to leeward, luffs slightly and Blue keeps clear. Yellow suddenly bears away, leaving the obstruction to port. Blue leaves the obstruction to starboard. There is a Y flag. What should the call be? Answer 2 Yellow has right of way and may choose to luff or bear away as she pleases provided she complies with rule 16.1. Display the green and white flag. |
