PART 2 , S E C T ION C : WHEN BOATS ME E T — RUL E 18 : MAR K- ROOM 199
Absolutely not, as long as you don’t hit the mark or the outside boat or force the outside boat to change course to avoid hitting you. Case 63 is clear: “… when a boat voluntarily or unintentionally makes space between herself and a mark available to another that has no right to such space, the other boat may take advantage, at her own risk, of the space.” (See Appeal 5.)
