Eh ???????
If they are rounding the left mark or the right, it does not matter, they must round "in a [color:"red"]seaman like[/color] manner".
Actually there is slight difference between the situations as one allows or requires a seaman-like rounding only and the other is allowed a tactical rounding. That is if a boat has the right of way outside the two boat length circle they maintain right of way and are allowed a tactical rounding. A boat having right of way before the two boat length circle is allowed to take a wide turn in order to come away from the mark very close to it, as long as they stay within the two boat length circle.
If on the otherhand a boat gained right of way due to the 2 boat length circle, but did not have it before that time, it is allowed only enough room to maneuver around the mark (seaman-like) and not allowed tactical access.
