    There was a case some years ago - as best I remember in an OG in the 470 class. Jury decided that the windward boat hadn't kept clear because it could reasonably expect the leeward boat to 'stand up' as it passed. Both boats were under spinnaker at the time.

  • Jim Champ Reply to: 22039 - John Quirk: furthermore, in CASE 50, in the first sentence, it actually uses the term "genuine and reasonable apprehension" (this of course a standard used by courts with applications for an arrest in connection with non-bailable offences), and in the second sentence 'reasonable doubt' (again, a well-tested legal / court term). Quite some complexity for a competitor and PC to become acquainted with :).

  • 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.
