• How long is the race committee allowed to change the position of the first windward mark?
  Niko. Thats what we did.  we've started the process of rearranging the course early before the warning signal and the pin end finished moving before the prep signal, but for some reason the first mark (boat) was somehow slow doing it and did not manage moving to the new position in time. Realizing that i've showed AP and restarted the whole thing.  All the questions, if this had been in the rules or not raised up later after racing and some competitors kept complaining even to the next day. so i tried to do my homeworks the next day. very interesting readings.

  FWIW, as I read RRS 32.2, the "S" flag replaces the blue flag referred to in Race Signals.

• NOR adherence to SAS requirements
  The OSR are not listed as rules in RRS Definitions Rule and are not designated by WS as a rule (listed in RRS 6).  They do not automatically apply.  They need to be switched on in NOR 1 with words like 
  
  1.2  The World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations applicable to Category X races apply.
  
  Where X is to number of the Category selected by the OA.

• Rule 18.3
  Ang thanks I see your scenario does mention Yellow forcing Cyan down below the mark. Agree 11 is broken in that scenario. Thanks for digging up the 2018 reference to 18.3 not ending until the two boats leave the zone. That was an interesting learning.

• What makes on-the-water shouting become "bad manners" or "unsporting"?
  Note in the definition it states “referred to in the rule using the term.”  In other words , Proper Course only exists when a rule uses the term, like RRS 17.  Since RRS 10 & 11 don’t  use the term it fires not apply.
  Proper Course  A course a boat would choose in order to sail the course as quickly as possible in the absence of the other boats referred to in the rule using the term. A boat has no proper coursebefore her starting signal.
