57. In a
situation similar to Case 56, Hook,
Line & Sinker (windward) and Luffing Leftovers (leeward) are
on a beat, approaching the RC-boat end of a finish line in 10 knots of
breeze and relatively flat water. They are both on port tack, bow to
bow and about half a boat length apart as shown at left. Neither will
be able to cross the line without tacking. If they do not tack they
will pass about one boat length to leeward of the RC boat. About 3 boat
lengths from the mark, Luffing
Leftovers calls for "room to tack" in order to be able to cross
the finish line.
