  1. Seems to be to easy to be true... I think this is an ordinary 18.2c.

    The blue boat must keep clear, which she does. 18.2d relieves yellow of her restrictions under 16 so I'd give a green flag.

  2. I think the seventh bullet point should say, "Blue luffs and passes head to wind."

  4. I don't see the problem... Going step by step:
    When 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.

  5. To all voters:
    But the Blue boat sees a rule infringement, she showing us the Yankee flag...

  6. I voted green flag since it was a clear case of 18.2(c) to me.
    Any other facts we should be aware of?
    Blue sees something else or she thinks she sees something else?

  7. Same as the other, Green-white. I cannot see any infringement
