• Definition "Party" + RRS 76.3
  To Mark's example, I might add the possibility that a competitor might refuse to sign a waiver as a condition of entry that requires that the competitor "indemnify" or "hold harmless" the Organizing Authority, Race Committee, or other event personnel. This is in contravention of rule 81, which is a US Sailing Prescription.

  Just to further explain the concept of where cryptocurrencies fit into our current financial landscape, let me add a bit of perspective.  Because the blockchain concepts are so different from what we're used to, it is more difficult to understand.  Primary cryptocurrencies (like Solana) differ from fiat currency (like USD) fundamentally in control, supply, and form. Crypto is decentralized, operates on a public blockchain, and often has a fixed, scarce supply. Fiat is centralized by governments, has an flexible supply managed by central banks, and is widely recognized as legal tender.  But unlike one government's fiat currency, a token represents the underlying valuation of the technology.  And it's not subject to control by any government other than regulation of financial services.  Generally cryptocurrency's value is stated in relation to a fiat currency.  But trading cryptocurrency doesn't require anyone's permission.  If you want to move $10,000, you don't have to wait for the bank to decide they want to do it.  In about half a second, your transaction is complete and final.

  I have the attached two documents from 2017 when Virtual Marks were being introduced.
  
  The guidance document, 2.4 says:
  
  (a) A waypoint is not a physical object, and
  
  (d) RRS 18 and RRS 28.2 cannot apply unchanged because a mark is defined as an object.
  
  Does anyone have any insights about the apparent philosophical change?
