Between windsurfers there are three basic right of way rules: leeward over windward, starboard tack over port tack and responsibility to maintain direction.
With the prevailing trade wind direction being east to east-north-east, this is most frequently down-the-line sailing on starboard tack (wind from right when standing on the beach).
We are unable to sail safely on starboard tack, but we are able to make reasonable speed on port tack.
