There’s nothing like a shifty dying easterly to shuffle the results around and add plenty of fuel to the “who got the worst start” debate. And there was plenty to discuss post-race with a healthy fleet of 19 boats, our largest so far this season, for the penultimate day of Club Championship races. In the first race, John and Matt …

Palma, Mallorca - Spain
Western Australia features heavily in the Olympic training.
|
|
A little more than a year out from the Tokyo Olympics, the Australian Sailing Team is tuning up with the first of a number of regattas in Europe, the 50th Trofeo Princess Sofia in Palma, Mallorca.
|
WA is well represented in the team.
|
|
Nia Jerwood and Monique de Vries will line up in the Women’s 470 class while Fremantle Sailing Club’s Chris Charlwood joins with Josh Dawson in the 470 Men’s.
|
Brothers David and Lachie Gilmour from Royal Freshwater Bay will be aboard one of four 49ers in the Australian contingent. Their competition will be intense as they fight for a spot in the Olympic team.
|
|
Caitlin Elks will be the sole Western Australian in the 49er FX, joining Amelia Stabback as one of three 49erFX crews.

Week 6 – Who’s zone is it? RRS18 Mark-Room!
|
|
Over the following weeks we will cover RRS18 and aspects that are relevant. When we start talking about mark-room, the Zone and Big boat vs Small boat comes into question.
|
|
Definition: Zone: The area around a mark within a distance of 3 hull lengths of the boat nearer to it. A boat is in the zone when any part of her hull is in the zone.
|
|
I am not going to “reinvent the wheel” as the following Q&A covers this.
|
Please read RRS18 & the Definitions Mark, Mark-Room & Zone.

World Sailing Racing Rules Q&A - B 011 Q&A 2016.001 Published: 5 January 2016
|
- There are different types of boats racing in a Yardstick race.
- Two boats (different kinds & different boat lengths) are approaching a leeward mark.
- In the diagram, the three-length zones for each of the two boat’s hull lengths are drawn.
- Position 1 Blue is clear ahead of Yellow.
- Position 2 Yellow (sailing faster) establishes an inside overlap on Blue, but still Blue is the boat nearer to the mark.
- Position 3 Before Yellow reached the smaller circle, she became the boat nearer to the mark.
|
|
|
Question: How does rule 18 apply in respect of the mark rounding in these circumstances? Who, if any, is entitled to mark-room?
|
- In position 3, Yellow is entitled to mark-room under rule 18.2.
- The zone in rule 18 is the area around the mark within a distance of 3 hull lengths of the boat nearer to the mark.
- In position 1, Blue is nearer to the mark and therefore the zone based on three of Yellow's hull lengths is not relevant.
- If Blue is still the boat nearer to the mark when she enters 'her' zone (before position 3), then Blue will be required to give mark-room to Yellow under the first sentence of rule 18.2(b).
- However, if Yellow has become the boat nearer to the mark before Blue came within three of her hull lengths from the mark, the first sentence of rule 18.2(b) cannot apply. If they remain overlapped at the mark, rule 18.2(a) applies and requires Blue to give mark-room to Yellow while the boats are overlapped.
