How close do you let someone get until you figure they're not going to give you the right of way?
I was close hauled and the other, a 30 ft'er was running free and we were on a collision course. If I remember right, that means I have the right of way.
In a tiny fish, he probably seemed closer than he really was, but he was close enough to make me nervous and wasn't changing course. I didn't have a steady wind, so I turned into the wind to stop to avoid a collision (here, you can't trust that people know the rules). Seconds later, he finally changed course and started heading right towards me, then throws up his hands as if frustrated with me.
