In an effort to help, we’ve created a series of “Bite Sized Lessons” taken straight out of our textbooks – Sailing Made Easy and Coastal Cruising Made Easy. In this lesson we take a look at who has the right of way as two sailboats approach each other; one on starboard tack, the other on port tack.
