Rule 18 – Mark-Room, Part 3: Passing Head to Wind in the Zone and Gybing at a Mark
This video covers what you need to know about Rule 18.3 and 18.4, with video, animations, and questions and answers. See more at SailZing.com.
Rule 18.3 – Passing Head to Wind in the Zone
“If a boat in the zone of a mark to be left to port passes head to wind from port to starboard tack and is then fetching the mark, she shall not cause a boat that has been on starboard tack since entering the zone to sail above close-hauled to avoid contact and she shall give mark–room if that boat becomes overlapped inside her. When this rule applies between boats, rule 18.2 does not apply between them.”
For 2021, World Sailing changed the title of this rule from “Tacking in the Zone” to “Passing Head to Wind in the Zone.” The change aligns the title with the language in the rule.
Rule 18.4 – Gybing
“When an inside overlapped right-of-way boat must gybe at a mark to sail her proper course, until she gybes she shall sail no farther from the mark than needed to sail that course. Rule 18.4 does not apply at a gate mark.”
