  • Thank you John for your insight into the matter.
  • Dave,

    From you post you said:

    “But you (Bob) finished your quote from Case 75 just before the most important bit (in our situation) which says:
    "However, because S had right of way she was not required to remain within that corridor ..."”

    I don’t see the relevance of this as Blue (inside boat) is not the right of way boat in our fact pattern???  Please explain??

    Anyway, staying within the corridor is only desirable if you want the protection of mark room so Blue definitely would want to sail there as it was the room to which she was entitled by mark room. 

    I take it from your answer that you don’t agree that Blue is entitled to sail directly to the mark (as per case 75) .  At no time in these facts did Yellow give Blue room to sail directly to the mark and indeed forced her to sail a looping course.  It’s not just what happens when you get to the mark that counts. Each part of the definition of mark room must be satisfied.

    When you say “case closed” is that recognition that 6 posters have dsq’d the Yellow boat and only you have absolved her so majority rules?? 😁

  • Thank you. I'd also like to thank my friends at Community Boating in Boston who come up with good scenarios on a weekly basis and allow me to obfuscate, adulterate, and then post them here.
