Default Racing Rules of Sailing 2005-2008

Comments?


How do you define "another leg of the course"?

Lets say I'm match racing and manage to push the other boat over early.
I start properly. May I interfere with the other boat's efforts to get
back across the start line to restart?

Not that I do any match racing. I'm just trying to think my way through
what this means.

Also, I assume "interfere" means to obstruct the movement of. If I
intentionally sail so as to give the other boat bad air but not actually
make her change course to avoid me, have I interfered with her?
