Question 1
A is approaching a starboard-hand windward mark on port tack, and completes
a tack within the zone clear ahead of X. After A is on a close-hauled
course X bears away to avoid her. X protests. What should the call be?
Answer 1
No penalty.
A completes her tack at position 3 without breaking rule 13. X is not
fetching the mark, so rule 18.3 does not apply. A becomes clear ahead,
and X is required to keep clear, which she does.
