"WATER" ????

That would be "Water Please" followed by "Thank You"

LOL. I've never thought of trying that approach

The correct sequence is- "WATER" [short pause] "READY ABOUT" - "LEE HO".


But what else will be in the exchange?

After they have tacked, the other boat will usually us some colourful
language - saying something to the effect that there was plenty of water!

We will then use equally colourful language in our two word contradiction of
their interpretation of the situation.
