Unfortunately Cappy, you again fail.
It is the responsibility of the windward vessel to stay clear until
the leeward one becomes an overtaking vessel when she must keep clear.

If the windward vessel is unable to point at high, she will slow down
whereupon the leeward vessel becomes an overtaking vessel,

Or the windward vessel is obliged to tack away.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

I thought that the windward/leeward situation was a crossing
encounter. A crossing encouter isn't over untill it's resolved.
It doesn't change to a overtaking situation because the windward boat
slows and passes behind the leeward boat.
