RACE RULES 360 RULE a 360 (one tack and one jibe) is required if you hit a mark   720 RULE a 720 is required (two tacks and two jibes) if you foul another boat. Typical causes of fouls is the obvious port-starboard infractions. The other main case is buoy room. A boat that has an inside overlap is entitled to buoy room. This boat is between a buoy and another boat and with its bow ahead of the stern of the other boat, when they are within two boat lengths of the buoy
