- Rule 18 - When Rule 18 (Mark-Room) Applies. This series of rules articles cover Part 2, Section C - At Marks and Obstructions. Section C covers Rules 18, 19, and 20. Rule 18 - Mark-Room is complex, so we’ll cover it in three separate articles, starting with Rule 18.1.
This video covers what you need to know about Rule 18, with video, animations, and questions and answers. See more at SailZing.com.
“Rule 18 applies between boats when they are required to leave a mark on the same side and at least one of them is in the zone. However, it does not apply
(a) between boats on opposite tacks on a beat to windward,
(b) between boats on opposite tacks when the proper course at the mark for one but not both of them is to tack,
(c) between a boat approaching a mark and one leaving it, or
(d) if the mark is a continuing obstruction, in which case rule 19 applies.
Rule 18 no longer applies between boats when mark-room has been given.”

I love this question and answer format, it crystalizes the rules perfectly.
Thanks for the feedback!
Example 7: Yellow is not in the zone as her hull is outside it (definition of zone says "hull").
Rule 18.1(b): would like to see an example as it happened to us coming in on port to the pin end of the finishing line and needing to pass the pin end mark and tack once to finish. A boat on starboard fetching the finish line called starboard and ended up head to wind before finishing after us! Still unsure.
Why aren't you using the term 'overlap'?
It's irrelevant to 18.1, but anyway 09:04
Great Vids! Example 8 illustrates no overlap. Does that mean blue has acquired mark room rights simply by being in the zone when approaching the finish line down wind?
If the inside boat is clear ahead or has an overlap at the zone it has room (downwind removes the port starboard exception )
