Port / Starboard , boats on Port give way to Starboard boats
Please do not attempt to smash in around the top mark from Port tack
(try and come in to the top mark on Starboard tack from 5 or more boat lengths out ...)
On the Same Tack,
A Windward boat keeps clear Leeward boat
DON'T DIVE IN BETWEEN GREEN AND THE MARK !!!!
At 4 boat lengths out from a mark the inside overlapped boats has the room
HOWEVER if no overlap at 4 boat lengths (see below diagram)
Red needs to go around the outside of green. DO NOT DIVE INSIDE BETWEEN GREEN AND THE MARK !!!)
