International Rules apply.

If I were at the helm of his catamaran I would ignore superfluous Rule 13

head up a little and pass the other sailboat at a safe distance without
having
to even think about Rule 13.

Who is the more prudent mariner?

Where is the mark, and which, if any, boats are sailing their proper course?
