Curious about what rules govern in this example of downwind to the line racing. All three boats have rounded the weather mark are heading to the finish. My boat, the overtaking boat must keep clear so I steer to port of James's boat ( the one with the octopus). Leah's boat is to my port. Are all boats supposed to keep clear of each other once overlap is achieved? What is the boat to my post were to have sailed in to pinch me between James's boat. We are all playing nice, but I am just curious what the implications are.

Thanks, Keay
