both boats are on port tack and the boat at the top of the picture is windward and therefore has to give way. The question is what action should it take. I put tack which would turn the boat away from the other boat. The answer stated that I should gybe which is a more dangerous maneuver than tacking and would involve turning towards the other boat. How is this the correct answer?
