OvERTAKING RUlES
► When both boats move with sails on dif-
ferent sides, the starboard boat gives

boat with the sail on the port side has the
right of way.

same side, the windward boat gives way
to the leeward boat. That means, the
boat closer to the wind gives way to the
downwind boat.

must give way to windward.
