Yachts on the port tack invariably give way to those on the starboard tack, and in all cases where doubt of the possibility of a yacht on the port tack weathering the one on the starboard tack shall exist, the yacht on the port shall give way. If the other yacht keeps her course and runs into her, the own CT of the yacht on the port tack shall be con- pelled to pay all damages.
 9 Any yacht bearing away or altering her course to leeward, and thereby compelling an- other yacht to bear away to avoid 8 collision, shall forfeit all claim to the race, except when two yachts are approaching windward shore, buoy or stake-boat together, with 8 fred eAWind, and so close to each other that the weathermost cannot bear away clear of the leewardmost, and by standing on further would be in danger of running ashore or touching said buoy or stake boat, such lee wardmost yacht on being requested to bear away, is immediately to comply, and will for felt all claim to the race by not doing. The Weathermost yacht must, however, in this case, bear away at the same time as she halls, if she can do so without coming in con- tact
 3. When two yachts by the wind are ap- proaching the shore, buoy or stake-boat to- gether, and so close that the leewardmost cannot tack clear of the windwardmost, and by standing on further would be in danger of running ashore, or touching such buoy or stake-boat such weathermost yacht, on being requested to put about, is immediately to comply, and will forfeit all claim to the race by not so doing. The leewardmost yacht moment as the one she hails if she can do so without coming in contact. f. When rounding @ mark, boat or buoy, the yacht nearest thereto shall be considered the headmost boat; and should any other yacht that is in the regatta or race compel a yacht nearer any mark, boat or buoy, the yacht so compelling her shall forfeit all claim to the race, and her owner shall pay all dam age that may occur thereby. The yacht so compelled to touch a mark, boat or buoy, shall not suffer any penalty therefor. B. Yachts going free must invariably give way to those by the wind on either tack
