WS case 93
WS case 95
If a boat passes head to wind from
port
to
starboard tack
in the
zone
of a
mark
to be left to port,
rule 18.2
does not apply between her and another boat on
starboard tack
that is
fetching
the
mark
. If the other boat has been on
starboard tack
since entering the
zone
, the boat that passed head to wind
shall not cause the other boat to sail above close-hauled to avoid contact, and
shall give
mark-room
if the other boat becomes
overlapped
inside her.
