You are being purposely closed-minded. I still am asking you to
describe one situation where if both sailboats are following the
sailing rules why would Rule 13 ever come into play.


As stated elsewhere, approaching from directly astern is not covered under Rule 12.



As stated wrongly elsewhere, that is. By virtue of the concept of apparent
wind, two vessels on a beam reach one of which is directly on the other's
bow, the following vessel is to leeward. There is NEVER a time when neither
vessel is to windward of the other.

The three sailing rules cover all sailing situations.
Consequently, Rule 13 is superfluous.

Correction: the following vessel is to *windward* by virtue of the apparent
wind not being the real wind the sailing rules are based on the real wind.

What if they're going upwind? Wouldn't the overtaking boat be to leeward? And where in the rules does it mention "apparent
wind"? In fact, as I said, windward and leeward are not defined by the wind is on, but which side the sail are on.


Duh! And it's the wind that determines on which side the boom is.
