Question 1
On a leg of the course to a windward mark, Blue and Yellow approach one another. At approximately four hull lengths from Blue, Yellow bears away to avoid Blue. Blue then bears away, so that the boats remain on a collision course. Yellow and Blue continue to bear away in the same way, until they finally pass one another with the wind approximately abeam. At no time does Blue sail a course that is more than ninety degrees from the true wind. Flag Y is displayed. What should the call be?
Question 2
In similar circumstances, Yellow's course would allow her to cross ahead of Blue, but Blue luffs to a collision course and Yellow tacks away in a seamanlike way. Flag Y is displayed. What should the call be?
