Sailor A, usually asserted by a whistle or shout if B doesn't see him. B
should fade or kick out. Sometimes B doesn't see or hear (or pretends to, a
not infrequent occurrence) A, resulting in defensive sailing techniques. It
sucks being A in this situation, especially when the critical section is
where B is and where A wants to be. Especially bad when the wave closes
out.
I was B once going backside and almost had a collision when A went from
backside to down-the-line at warp speed. Coulda been ugly...
