Seems to be to easy to be true... I think this is an ordinary 18.2c.
ReplyDeleteThe blue boat must keep clear, which she does. 18.2d relieves yellow of her restrictions under 16 so I'd give a green flag.
I think the seventh bullet point should say, "Blue luffs and passes head to wind."

ReplyDeleteYes you are quite right, I've changed bullet seven.
I don't see the problem... Going step by step:
ReplyDeleteWhen the Y entres into the 2L 18.2c is on. No rule limitate the bearing of Y in pos2 and the same is for the luff in pos3 (exept for eventually rule 16 but tacking is part of rounding mark and 16 is not applying on this; moreover Blue was in condition to KC so...). This means the tactical rounding of Y was correct. Green/white flag.
To all voters:
ReplyDeleteBut the Blue boat sees a rule infringement, she showing us the Yankee flag...
I voted green flag since it was a clear case of 18.2(c) to me.
ReplyDeleteAny other facts we should be aware of?
Blue sees something else or she thinks she sees something else?
Same as the other, Green-white. I cannot see any infringement
