Hello everyone. I know the entire Case Book is important. But I'd like to know your opinion on the top ten cases to graph and study with my students. For example, number 50 is very important to know. Case 147 is so good too !!
Case 75 deals with the circumstance where the right of way boat is inside. Case 118 deals with the opposite circumstance where the right of way boat (in this case, a leeward boat) is outside.
Hey everyone. If the point of this thread is to point people to these cases .. then I'd suggest that you embed the case links in your replies (so members can click and read the abstract). Just look below the comment box and the details are there .. you can even copy/paste from < to > and change the number. You do need to type the word "case" before it.
Ang, that's a great idea if you're a patron. If you're not, I'm afraid it's useless, because the links don't work. FWIW, I agree with including particularly cases 50, 75, and 146. As you say, 130 is gone in the new casebook, and I'm less certain about the other two.
(BTW, I understand the need to produce a revenue stream to keep the site up to date, but I confess that as an early supporter of this site, it's a little galling to be told that I now have to pay $140/yr for it to work properly. If I had known I was supporting the site to the point at which I and others could be charged to use it, I would probably have saved my money.)
Even my fellow judges did not understand that mark room does not override port and starboard at the leeward mark!
Yipes!
Case 118 deals with the opposite circumstance where the right of way boat (in this case, a leeward boat) is outside.
But for competitors and judges both, 146 is very useful.
So we have Cases 50, 75, 118, 146, 147
BTW .. Case 130 is now deleted in 2025
