🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 12 – Sailing Vessels (Navigation Rules) • Meaning of running free (wind from abaft the beam) • Difference between windward and leeward vessel when wind is on the same side

💭 Think About

• First, picture both sailboats with the wind coming from the same side and both sailing with the wind generally from behind. Which boat is physically closer to where the wind is coming from? • Ask yourself: In a meeting of two sailboats on the same tack, which one is more restricted in keeping its sails full and steady if the other alters course toward it? • Think about why the Rules favor one boat’s ability to maneuver and keep clear without blanketing (blocking the wind of) the other.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 12 what it says about two sailing vessels with the wind on the same side. • Identify clearly which vessel is the windward vessel and which is the leeward vessel in the situation described. • Confirm which of those two (windward vs. leeward) the Rule designates as the give-way vessel.
