right of way

Now let's see, I'm sailing off his leeward rail and that gives me the right of way, I think. . .
Well, let's look at this another way. . .
He's 110 feet of oak under full sail at 20 knots, I'm 18 feet of fiberglass. . .
screw the right of way, he can go first!

Good choice especially as the (unseen) fiberglass boat is burdened for several reasons: sail has right of way over power, he is on starboard tack and in a crossing situation vessels should turn to starboard which would put you under his stern.
