We still have a couple of 'rules discuss...Feedback<br /><br />We still have a couple of 'rules discussions' in Conclusions. If you are going to state a conclusion that MM broke rule 11, then this implies that 'NN was ROW boat under rule 11', so it is unnecessary to write that.<br /><br />If there is contact we should decide whether or not either or both boats broke rule 14, and whether or not either or both gains protection under rule 14(b) or exoneration under rule 64.1(c), and explicitly state conclusions about this.<br /><br />Don't forget that rule 14(b) protects a boat that is entitled to room or mark-room as well as a right of way boat, so where a right of way boat must give room or mark-room, both boats can have rule 14(b) protection.<br /><br />I'm not sure what John G meant when he concluded that 'MM had mark-room'. Did that mean 'NN gave MM mark-room to which she was entitled'? But given that John G knocked the problem off in just 3 minutes, a slip-up is understandable.<br /><br />Thanks to all participants.Brassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-37184727350822299142009-04-06T00:52:00.000+02:002009-04-06T00:52:00.000+02:00BrassIs it possible to get some feedback for last ...Brass<BR/><BR/>Is it possible to get some feedback for last week's exercise?John Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-60367336066909600322009-04-05T22:36:00.000+02:002009-04-05T22:36:00.000+02:00MM V NNMM and NN were on starboard tack overlapped...MM V NN<BR/><BR/>MM and NN were on starboard tack overlapped approaching a windward mark to be left to starboard.<BR/>The boats had been 1.5 lengths to leeward of the mark, separated by less than a boat width approaching the Zone.<BR/>When in the zone NN maintained a close-hauled course and MM fell down on her till a collision occurred.<BR/><BR/>Conclusions<BR/>11 MM failed to keep clear of NN<BR/>18.2.b MM took more room than the mark room she was entitled to.<BR/>18.5 Having taken more room than the mark room she was entitled to MM cannot be exonerated.<BR/>64.1.c MM was not compelled to break a rule and cannot be exonerated under this rule.<BR/>14.
