Section G - The Leg of the Course to a Leeward Mark
MR CALL G1
Rule 15, Acquiring Right of Way
Question
On a course that is more than ninety degrees from the true wind, Yellow establishes
an overlap to windward of Blue with her spinnaker. Yellow bears away, without
breaking the overlap, and overlaps Blue to leeward.
Does rule 15 apply?
Answer
Yes. At the moment Yellow becomes right of way as the leeward boat, rule 15 begins
to apply.
