Racing rules of sailing

20.1 Hailing. A boat may hail for room to tack and avoid a boat on the same tack. However, she shall not hail unless (a) she is approaching an obstruction and will soon need to make a substantial course change to avoid it safely, and (b) she is sailing close-hauled or above. In addition, she shall not hail if the obstruction is a mark and a boat that is fetching it would be required to change course as a result of the hail.

Safety tip of the day

If you find water in your boat and you are not sure where it came from, taste it. If it is fresh it is from your water tanks. If it is salty it is from a leak in the hull or water ballast tanks.
