Reply To: Finishing Mark 9/6/22 traffic jam at pin

This is a pretty common issue and as I understand it 18.2 giving mark room applies at the pin and signal. Whitehawk and Fortitude were inside boats at the mark (pin) so if they were overlapped (Whitehawk definitely was not sure about Fortitude) then they had rights. If this is not the case I for one would certainly like to hear why that is.

Good idea Jeff to make use of this.

Also, I would encourage anyone who is not to subscribe to US Sailing and get the rules ap on your phone. Dave Perry’s more clear definitions and examples are attached to each rule which is super helpful.
