Giving Mark-Room
Rule 18.2(a) is changed to:
- (a) When the first of two boards is rounding or passing the mark,
- (1) if the boards are overlapped, the outside board shall give the inside board mark-room;
- (2) if the boards are not overlapped, the board clear astern at that moment shall give the other board mark-room.
When a board is required to give mark-room by rule 18.2(a), she shall continue to do so for as long as this rule applies, even if later an overlap is broken or a new overlap begins.
Rule 18.2(b) is changed to:
- (b) Rule 18.2(a) no longer applies if the board entitled to mark-room passes head to wind.
