Different sails for different catamarans! Here are some of the more popular sails you´ll likely find on a catamaran. Which is your favourite sail? ▫️ We vote gennaker, but that's only because we've gone the fastest with that sail up (OK, we were surfing). ▫️ - Square-top mainsail @hhcatamarans OC50 - Self Tacking Jib/Solent on a Nautitech 40 Open - Overlapping Genoa and Self tacker on a @excess_catamarans 14 - Code 0 on a Lagoon 60 - Gennaker/Asymmetrical Spinnaker on a - Balance 526 (@outerpassage) - @Wingaker or Parasailor on a Seawind 1260 ▫️ #sailing #yachts #sails

Rule 18 is quite complex with many factors which need to be taken into account to decide if a boat should get room at the mark or not. The first step is to understand the positions of the boat when the first boat hits the zone which is a circle 3 times the length of the first boat to reach the mark. In this video it was 108 feet as the J109 leading into the mark is 36 feet long. The A35 which was approaching from behind was going a lot faster and established an overlap shortly after they entered the zone, they tried to barge in but the skipper on the J109 new the rules and held firm forcing the the A35 to do a tack and a gybe to round the mark and avoid a collision. The knowing the rules and clearly signalling the opposition boat when you reach the zone is the only way to make it clear to your competitors that they have no room and they should keep clear.
