• Definition "Party" + RRS 76.3
  Terminology says a boat is “A sailboat and the crew on board, that are subject to the rules.” How can a competitor, who is a person who races or intends to race in the event, be a competitor if they are not part of the crew on board, and if they are not part of the crew onboard, how can they be excluded?  If they are part of the crew on board they are covered by the term “boat”.

  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?
