“We are / are not overlapped!”“Wait until the zone.”
I do / do not have room to give mark-room.I did everything possible to give room
“I am / You are at the zone,“Mark Room / No Mark Room”“I doubt it / No doubt”
Outside / clear astern gives mark-room
(Forever–unless outside tacks or leaves the zone)
Taking mark room you deserve means not having to say “you’re sorry” for breaking 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, or 16.
Inside r-o-w must gybe if that’s her proper course.

Preamble – “… does not apply at a starting mark surrounded by navigable water or at its anchor line, from the time boats are approaching them to start until they have passed them.”
It Depends

1st It Depends – Are you approaching the starting line to start?
2nd It Depends – When BLUE sticks her bow in, is there room for her to pass through?

YELLOW says …
BLUE says …
You probably know the answer.
The “why” may surprise you.
Who is most likely to sway the protest committee?
Who has the onus? Preponderance of the evidence (or the balance of probabilities). Hear all the evidence. -- Weigh the evidence. -- Whichever has more weight – 49% / 51% In this case starboard is usually in a better position to see the situation develop and determine whether she needs to change course to avoid a collision, so her evidence is given more weight.

20 Hailing for room to tack.
Rule 20 – “When approaching an obstruction, a boat may hail for room to tack and avoid a boat on the same tack. …”
RED, Give me room to tack
please.
(a) Be required to make a substantial alteration of course to miss the obstruction
(b) Be sailing a close hauled course(c) The obstruction is not a mark.(d) Hail (what?)(e) Give the hailed boat time to respond(f) After hailed boat responds, must tack ASAP
BLUE, Please keep
clear.
BLUE must:
Okay. Here I go.
What happens if BLUE does not really need to tack? RED must respond (and protest).
49
RED is now at a big disadvantage. She is the leeward boat on pinned stbd tack.
Does she have a better response?
50
RED, Give me room to tack
please.
BLUE, Please keep clear.
Okay,YOU TACK
What?
‘YOU TACK’
Rule 20.2(c) “The hailed boat shall … tack ASAP,
(Response Option #2)
by immediately replying ‘You tack’ … .”
