That's it in a nut shell but what happens on the water is not always that way. Good read.

It's not always that way on the water for a number of reasons:

1) drivers push the rules looking for the advantage

2) water conditions are such that the boats don't respond in a predictable manner

3) drivers don't run enough to "hone" their driving and are therefore less sharp than desirable. I'll be the first to admit to this one

4) drivers that don't really know the rules or how they are applied

There are other reasons as well, these just are the most common and obvious

Reading it is one thing, APPLYING it................ well you know.

Agreed, but I wasn't going to add that to the list since, by and large, the people making the calls are doing the best they can in making split-second decisions with all the noise and distractions associated with the racing going on. Then again, which is more likely to fly, a bad non-call or a bad call made under good intentions?

3 boat lengths for a pass really isn't enough, your roostertail will easily wash out the boat you're passing and disable them.

To add to the dilema here doesn't the leading boat have lane choice?? If I am competetive and can just keep staying in front of you so you can't pass that is not wrong nor punishable?? Just saying!!

Later!!

It is pretty obvious if you cut in front of some one to take that lane and you blow them off.

Not that hard to understand.........................
