There is no requirement for the Opti to hold course. Sorry, but from what
you described that's a fact.

I thought it was pretty clear. I gave courses and speeds. You guys
just like to imagine complications that
don't exist. It was a head-on situation just like in the rules. I was
making a point. Head-on for sailboats is not
the same as head-on for motor powered boats.
