No rule requires you to anticipate what the other boat may or may not do....but yeah, probably.
I understand but disagree with the rationle.
Firstly, we are sailing catamarans not 4ksb and I posit the damage to both boats in the case at hand.
NOT anticipating is inherently unsafe.
Secondly, we are discussing an approach to A mark. Where else was Artemis going to go?
I feel the starboard right of way rule should be strengthened.
Again, thanks to Eric for all his work. Somebody has to try and keep us straight and I appreciate it.
