Question 1

Blue and Yellow are overlapped on port tack, with Yellow as the leeward, right-ofway boat. They approach a continuing obstruction on courses that make it clear that Yellow is the inside boat, or at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the shoreline so that it is unclear which boat will be the inside boat when they reach the obstruction. Yellow begins to luff or maintains her course and Blue keeps clear. When Yellow is approximately one and a half lengths from the obstruction she suddenly bears away and passes the obstruction to port leaving Blue clear astern. Flag Y is displayed. What should the call be?

Answer 1

Question 2

In the pre-start, Blue and Yellow overlapped on port tack approach the outer end of a dock. Before the boats are at the obstruction, Yellow, to leeward, luffs slightly and Blue keeps clear. Yellow suddenly bears away, leaving the obstruction to port. Blue leaves the obstruction to starboard. Flag Y is displayed. What should the call be?
