| You said 180 was "overtaking" the 280 vessel.

I did NOT say that. Look again, Joe. I said one sailboat was
catching up to the other. Since everybody seems clueless, I'll
give the answer. It's a crossing situation. Subtract the angles.
It has to be within a 22 and 1/2 degree angle of the centerline
to be overtaking. 208-180 = 28 degrees. Not overtaking.
Pay attention, Joe.

In a crossing situation the sailboat to windward must avoid the
other sailboat since they're both on the starboard tack.

This is FUN!
