Agreed. The actual rule is that when on the same reach, the overtaking sailor must
give way to the sailor being overtaken. ( actually, in a racing situation, the
overtaken sailor loses ROW once the overtaking sailor establishs "mast abeam"). If
the sailor being overtaken is taking an erratic coarse due to bottom and top turns on
the swell, well, I believe most sailors would know to give plenty of room.

Agreed

I say in this situation, that the approaching straight-line sailor should
give ROW to slower sailors who are manuevering on the swells.
...
I mean the sailor approaching from behind the manuevering sailor on the
same tack. For sailors approaching from the opposite tack, normal ROW
rules (starboard/non-manuevering sailor has ROW) should apply.
