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.
