    Question 4

    Scenario C

    92 rules

    Two boats on starboard tack are approaching the line to start near the committee boat end. L comes from behind, gets a leeward overlap and then luffs W to prevent W from ‘barging.’ Once the starting signal is made, L must bear off to a course that provides room for W at the RC boat.

    Question 5

    If a batten is inverted after a jibe, you may pump the sail until it is fixed, even if surfing conditions do not exist.

    TrueFalse

    Question 6

    Scenario C2

    92 rules

    Two boats on port tack (L and W) are approaching a boat on starboard tack (S), who yells ‘Starboard!’ L hails for room to tack and W hails for room to pass behind S. (If L continues on a straight course she will just barely miss S’s port stern quarter.) The outcome of this situation depends on which boat (L or W) hailed first.

    TrueFalse

    Question 7

    Scenario C3

    92 rules

    During the first upwind leg of race 4, BLUE on port tack and RED and GREEN on starboard tack were sailing close-hauled on a converging course. BLUE bore off to a beam reach, to pass behind GREEN and RED that were beating on starboard tack. When BLUE was 1 boat length from RED, RED luffed, passed head to wind and started bearing away directly ahead of BLUE. Before RED reached a close-hauled course, BLUE bore off, but there was contact with her port bow and the stern of RED with no damage.
