April 14, 20215 yr Prior to the start but after the 1 minute signal. On starboard tack approaching the bank ( no inner distance mark) Hailing for room to tack , the reply was you can not do that before the start. as i understand it rules of PART 2 operate in the racing area for boats that intend to race, are racing, or have been racing. Penalties arise only after the 1 minute signal. who is right.
April 14, 20215 yr Yes you may hail for room to tack if you are sailing close hauled towards an obstruction at any time while subject to the racing rules and Yes a penalty applies for failing to respond as required by R 20 at any time after the 1 minute signal. John
