Rule 18.2(d) Not Required to Give Mark-Room (Inside Overlap Established Late)

Wording

Since Y obtained an inside overlap [from clear astern] [by tacking to windward of Z] and, from the time the overlap began, Z was unable to give mark-room, Z was not required to give it in accordance with RRS 18.2(d).

Applicable scenarios

  • Boat not required to give mark-room when inside overlap established when impossible to give
