1. On opposite tack: If my right hand is near the mast
I have ROW.
I think this may be the rule that was questioned in the original post. In
wavesailing, the surfing rule is fairly uniformly (ha ha) applied: If I'm on a
wave, unless you can paddle over the shoulder without interfering with the wave,
it's your duty to paddle behind and avoid the surfer, even if that means taking
a lip on the head. The wavesailing equivalent is (for the most part) the guy on
the wave has the right of way - regardless of whose hand is where (for most hand
placements). To apply this to the swell in the bay/rio/wherever isn't too hard
- if they look like they're going to start turning on the swell, pinch up & jump
the one behind.
Hard and fast rules don't work in fluid situations.
