Recently I a question came up regarding the new rules and mark rounding's. Does anyone know how the "three hull length zone" is defined if two over lapped boats of different classes are approaching the leeward mark at the same speed. Lets say the inside boat is an Opti at 7.58' and a Mumm 30 at 31' is the outside boat. Furthermore, how many feet in diameter would the zone be defined? Also, who defines the zone?
I think that there are some good pionts in there, I guess my question is that since the new rules say that the inside boat determines the circle size. Would that mean in my example the Mumm 30 would only have a 15' zone to work with?

The rule in Long Beach was:
Bigger boat yells "BIGGER BOAT" and smaller boat gets out of the way.

Unless things have changed, We don't have any Opti's at the club nor do we have Mumm 30's or 31's. So as far as I'm concerned we either get some Opti's or Mumm's the word!
