Avoiding Slam Dunks

In sailing races, "slam dunking" occurs when an opposing boat tries to tack onto your wind in a close enough proximity to stop you from tacking away. In order to prevent and overcome a slam dunk, do one of the following: a) bear off before the opposing boat has a chance to catch up to you, or b) tack immediately. Do not try both tactics, but rather choose one and see it through.
