• When has a boat finished - touching a finish mark
  Very well put across by Angelo. Yellow has not cleared the line when she touched the mark.

• Advice? PC witness to an incident
  Jim .. I agree wholeheartedly.  Earlier in the thread (and in the OP) the idea of a Judge withholding testimony and/or refusing to be a witness was raised.  I mentioned I thought it was a bad look and a bad practice.

• Starting and Recalls with Technical Assistance
  Al,
  
  My thought is that the OA and the Class specify what they want the technology to do and what's legal/illegal and that the judges stay out it and focus on adjudicating alleged infractions.
  
  Once we get enough experience with these systems to know what they really do (vs what the vendor claims they will do), then if data from the system shows up in a hearing, we can make reasonable judgements.

• Pursuit Race SIs?
  I'm not sure how common this is.  At Rutland Sailing Club, we have a large digital clock/stop watch that is mounted on the committee (start) boat. Our SIs then include something like this:
  
  

  The Start
  
  

  A large digital race timing clock will be displayed from the committee boat. The clock counts up in hours:minutes:seconds from 00:00:00.  This clock, together with the display and removal of flags, will comprise the visual signals for starting the race.  This and the following amends Rule 26.
  
  

  Competitors shall not start before the digital clock displays the starting time corresponding to the class of their boat.  The starting times shall be posted on the official notice board at least 1 hour before the start of the race and may be distributed at the competitor briefing.
