- (Not valid if headings are parallel .... Watch out for leeway)

## Sail (stand on) over power (give way) except when overtaking
Leeward sail over Windward sail
Starboard tack over Port tack
In general, boats without maneuverability to comply with Right-of-Way rules are to be given ‘stand on’ position – applies to all Sail and/or Power 

- Leeward sail over Windward sail
- Starboard tack over Port tack
- In general, boats without maneuverability to comply with Right-of-Way rules are to be given ‘stand on’ position – applies to all Sail and/or Power

## Capsize Activities

- Is everybody OK ?
- The Scot floats even when capsized
- Go to the centerboard immediately
- Protect yourself when the boat rights itself
- Otherwise, free main sheets, etc. first
- Main sail ‘sea anchor’, misplaced crew, ...
- Occupy and bail boat as buoyancy allows

## Before you Capsize

- Does you crew know what to do?
- Can all of your crew swim?
- Do you have anything on board that  absolutely, positively cannot get wet ?
- ... or lost ?  (Keys, wallet, ... etc.)
- Always sail with ‘a little’ centerboard
- Good news ... the Scot Floats!!
- ... stay with the boat until help arrives
