But enough of the social stuff. Here are the sections of the rules you should know "when boats meet:"

11 - On the same tack, overlapped
12 - On the same tack, not overlapped
13 - While tacking

15 - Acquiring right of way
16 - changing course
17 - On the same tack; proper course

Section C – At Marks and Obstructions

18 - Rounding and passing marks and obstructions
18.1 - When this applies
18.2 - Giving room: keeping clear
(a) overlapped - basic rule
(b) overlapped at the zone
(c) not overlapped at the zone
(d) changing course to round or pass
(e) overlap rights
18.3 - Tacking at a mark
18.4 - Gybing

I need to confess that Maika'i has not been called upon to use these rules very often. We usually find ourselves alone at the marks . . .
