Default My seamanship question #6

Capt. JG said he sailed backwards for an hour. If another sailboat was sailing directly
toward JGs transom would it be an overtaking situation? And would the other sailboat have
to give way. How would it know if JG was sailing backwards or just very slow forward.


Cheers,

Overtaking is overtaking no matter what situation it is....
