Well done to Mark for being the 4th different winner of the series. I am guessing there was a bit of breeze.

You could say "protest" back to them.

If Jason's rudders were hard over I don't see what more he could do. You can only luff to head to wind, you can't force a tack.

You also have to have the time and opportunity to get out of the way. The pivot point of a boat is somewhere round about the middle of the boat so you can't luff unless your bow is past midships on the boat to windward. Otherwise if you get a four inch overlap and shout "up", the other boa...
