• RRS 20.1
  Yes but in a fleet allowed to use a different language to English, I think that is acceptable.

• New medal series formats
  Olympic sailing would do well to include match racing in traditional spinnaker displacement boats.
  Also perhaps a mini version of SailGP (like in foiling Nacras with a similar format though probably over more days). Heck full SailGP would be fine if they wanted.
  I'd also love to see teams racing, though I can imagine only a select few would know what was going on in terms of the rules and boat-handling. Perhaps 2v2 would be more digestible, even though it's clearly a lesser sport.
  I also think that freestyle kiting should probably be included, as well as wing-foil racing.
  
  That's five events under the sailing umbrella, but with sufficient differences such that it would be similar to watching skiing or skating in all their formats.

• Leeward mark on opposite tacks
  It's RRS 18.2a(1). Both of them are overlapped before enter the zone with Blue inside and Yellow outside. To answer Antonio, Yellow shall give Mark room to Blue...

• Best Scoring System to Select Champion Boat from multiple Divisions
  I think here we get into an interesting philosophical point.  Are we evaluating boats based on SPEED or are we evaluating them based on OUTMANEUVERING their competitors strategically?  The winning boat may have given up course time to cover their competition.  A good move in that division even if it cost some time.

  ..Michael,  A change of mind can always be blamed on "we learned something new," rather than "oopsie!"

  
   A protest committee should always have enough spine to admit it may have been wrong, rather than looking for an excuse like ' new evidence '.
