Rene, put briefly, I absolutely disagree with your line of argument. You are importing [quite well known] COLREGS case law into the RRS. It's not applicable.
You saidThe concept of keeping clear requires more than simply avoiding contact under normal circumstances.
Logically if keeping clear requires more than avoiding contact, it requires at least avoiding contact.
A give way boat can always avoid contact by keeping clear (except in the Case 77 situation.John Allan Today 02:35 -
RRS 60.2(a)(1) If the protestor is a boat, she shall hail 'Protest' and, if her length is more than 6 meters, conspicuously display a red flag, at the first reasonable opportunity for each. She shall display the red flag until she is no longer racing.
As a protestor you are required to hail protest and also required to display a red flag if applicable as read above, deviation from these requirements can/should render any subsequent protest as invalid unless subject to other parts of RRS 60.Timothy Ripley Yesterday 20:41 -
Ang I as well .. was just trying to clearly describe where/how the ambiguity resides that you pointed out.
And I appreciate it.(Why do I suddenly feel like I'm Charlie Brown and you're Lucy holding the ball! <g>).
I never called you a blockhead.John Allan Yesterday 19:26
