You're Trapped on Port. This One Hail Saves You.

You're trapped to leeward on port, and a starboard-tack boat is bearing down. You can't just tack — there's a boat right on your windward hip. So what's your right? Hail it, loud: "Room to tack!" Now the windward boat must tack promptly, or give you room — that's Rule 20. And if she ignores you and you're forced into that starboard boat, you're exonerated — she takes the penalty, not you. Remember it: Hail. Wait. Tack.
