I'm sorry Mike, but you're wrong. All of that describes the obligations of the outside boat. There is nothing that obligates the inside boat to tack.

Think of it this way - why would you ever go into this situation as the windward boat with an overlap? I'd do everything I could to break that overlap before the leeward boat enters the zone. It makes no sense.

If you need further convincing, look at Team Race Call E12.
