Rule 18.1(b) applies, so 2 BL circle is irrelevant.
(there is no buoy room at a weather mark)
Black's only recourse is to slow down, tack (or jibe) and take a hitch to weather on port before tacking back to lay the mark.
Are you sure that red tacked to avoid you? Or just because he didn't think he could lay the mark?
