Question
After the start X is sailing on port tack from the course side of the
starting line without having started. Boat A has started correctly and
bears away below her proper course onto a collision course with X. X protests.
What should the call be?
Answer
Penalize A. X and A are not on the same leg of the course. Therefore when
A bears away below her proper course and interfere with X, she breaks
rule 23.2.
