You were on starboard tack and had right of way. You only needed to change
your course if you thouht a collision was imminent.

You go sailing (not racing) in an Optimist pram. You're going north.
The east wind is
right on your starboard beam.
Up ahead you see a Hobie Cat 14 sailing fast flying a hull and he's
headed right at
your bow (he's going south). He changes course to the west and you change
course to the
east.
Did you act the way the colregs tell you to?

Cheers,
