On Opposite Tack

A port-tack boat shall keep clear from a starboard tack boat

Film Rule 10

RRS – Part 2 – Section A – Rule 10

Animationen_und_Filme/rule10.mp4


On the same tack overlapped

When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep-clear of a leeward boat



Overlap, Clear Astern, Clear Ahead

between 2 boats it is always:

- If a boat is clear astern, then the other is clear ahead

- If non is clear astern or clear ahead, then they overlap

RRS – Part 2 – definition Overlap


A boat is clear astern of another boat, if his hull and equipment in normal position is behind a line abeam of the furthest aft of the hull or equipment in normal position is.

Boats also overlap if a boat in between overlaps both boats

If boats are sailing higher than 90 degree (tacking) then it is only valid for boats on the same tack.

RRS – Part 2 – Definintion Overlap


RRS – Part 2 – Definition overlap


On the same tack overlapped

When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shell keep-clear of a leeward boat

Film Rule 11




On the same tack not overlapped

A boat clear astern shall keep clear of a boat clear ahead

Film12_01, 02





While tacking

After a boat passes head to wind, she shall keep clear of other boats until she is on a close-hauled course. During that time rules 10, 11 and 12 do not apply. If two boats are subject to this rule at the same time, the one on the other’s port side or the one astern shall keep clear.

No rule for jibing

Until the boom has passed the centerline, the old rules are valid

Then instantly the new ones

RRS – Part 2 – Section A – jibing

Animationen_und_Filme/jibe.mp4


Acquiring right of way

When a boat acquires right of way, she shall initially give the other boat room to keep clear, unless she acquires right of way because of the other boat’s actions.

Film (Rule 15_2)

Film (Rule 15_1)

RRS – Part 2 – Section B – Rule 15




Changing Course

16.1 When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other boat room to keep clear.


Film (Rule 16)

Film (Rule 16_0, 1)






The next animation is relevant for the 2nd part of rule 16.2.

When tacking on port tack and bearing away to pass behind a boat with right of way, the right of way boat is not allowed to bear away also.

Film (Rule 16_3):



Proper course

To know what is “proper course” is a pre-condition to understand rule 17 (next slide)

“A course a boat would sail to finish as soon as possible in the absence of the other boat refferedto in the rule using the term. A boat has no proper course before her starting signal”



On the same tack; proper course

If a boat clear astern becomes overlapped within two of her hull lengths to leeward of a boat on the same tack, she shall not sail above her proper course while they remain on the same tack and overlapped within that distance, unless in doing so she promptly sails astern of the other boat. This rule does not apply if the overlap begins while the windward boat is required by rule 13 to keep clear.

Film (Welche Regel gilt)

RRS – on the course

Animationen_und_Filme/welche_regel_gilt.mp4


Boats with right of way are obstructions (Rule 19 is to be used)

A boat can select on which side of the obstruction it wants to pass

If boats are overlapping then the outside boat has to give way to the inside boat to pass

Boats on the same tack

Both boats are approaching the mark


RRS – at the windward mark– Rule 18

Decisive is if the overlap exists when the first boat enters the zone

When overlapping the outside boat shall give mark room to the inside boat

No overlapping, the boat clear astern has to give mark room to the boat clear ahead

Mark room is the room that a boat needs to pass the mark on the correct side


RRS – at the windard mark – Rule 18


RRS – An der Luvbahnmarke – Regel 18

Many thanks and have a safe trip home


Definitions - Tack, Starboard or Port

“A boat is on the tack, starboard or port, corresponding to her windward side”

“Ein Boot ist auf dem Schlag, Steuerbord oder Backbord, der seiner Luvseite entspricht.”

zurück

RRS – Definition „Schlag“ bzw. „Tack“


boats’s leeward side id the side that is or, when she is head to wind, was away from the wind. However, when sailing by the lee or directly downwind (vor dem Wind oder tiefer), her leeward side is the side on which her mainsail lies. The other side is her windward side. When two boats on the same tack overlap, the one on the leeward side of the other is the leeward boat.

Die Leeseite eines Bootes ist die Seite, die vom Wind abgewandt ist oder wenn es im Wind ist, abgewandt war. Segelt es jedoch direkt vor dem Wind oder tiefer, ist die Leeseite die Seite, auf der sich das Großsegel befindet, die andere Bootsseite ist die Luvseite. Wenn zwei Boote auf gleichem Schlag überlappen, so ist das auf der Leeseite des anderen liegende Boot das Leeboot. Das andere ist das Luvboot.
