2022 Test Rule 18 - Revision 1 (May 2022) |

The definition of mark-room lists the elements of MR. When all of these items have been satisfied, then the last sentence of 18.1 turns off Rule 18 (“Rule 18 no longer applies between boats…”). Tacking, 18.2(d), turns off 18.2( b) and (c), but not 18 as a whole.
IMO, Blue has been given the MR she is entitled to after she passes the mark by more than a BL and as soon as she reaches a close hauled course on port (prior to her tack) where she can start sailing her beat to windward (Blue #4 in diagram). IMO, the last sentence of 18.1 turns off 18 at that time.
Does this type of relationship apply to boats in the zone with regard to ‘Mark Room’?
No, 18 can apply between boats, but because of their actions inside the zone, the only remaining 18 rule that can convey MR is 18.2(a) and that won’t apply unless they are overlapped.
What rule do you feel applies after Blue tacks that uses the term “proper course”? We both agree it’s not 18, so what then?
