Hint please :-)


One of the answers given already should be hint enough. Since Neal
claims to know the answer (even though this was a few decades before a
woman taught him how to sail) I'll hold of on giving the answer until
Neal enlightens us. BTW, I've spent I lot of time scouring the net for
old rules and haven't found much, so I wouldn't recommend Google. I've
had better luck finding old text books at used bookstores and yard sales.

As I've said before, this a situation in the sailing rules where the
standon/giveway relationship has been reversed. In other words, if you
learned the rules before 1972 (or whenever your country adopted the
recent Colregs) you would have to relearn them.



There are some interesting differences.
