• Is it a gate mark if the next leg is a reach?
  A gate is two marks between which the boat must sail in the direction of the next mark or finish, even if one of the gate marks has in effect to be rounded.  If the OA doesn't care about the final passage through 3p/3s, the rounding order listing should state that 3p is the rounding mark at the end of the last downwind leg, rather than 3p/3s.

  David,  The opinions or determinations of insurers or the existence of insurance has no effect on liability or quantum of damages.

• Protest Time Limit for a Day without Racing
  I agree. A alone is not a prescribed flag (in non-race world does it not mean "I have a diver down?").  So while using it without AP might be intended to avoid confusion to those racing, it might actually add confusion!
  
  But I think flying AP/A ± class flag in the wording given would still mean dock time applies.
  
  An additional scenario that hasn't been considered - morning and afternoon race. Morning goes ahead and sailors return for lunch (AP/H or just per schedule). RC comes to dock and then while ashore decide not to go out after lunch AP/A flown.  Protest time will be from AP/A. With the original wording being used it would be dock time.
  
  For those of us who use from last finisher of race, we sometimes use last finisher by fleet. I presume dock time doesn't allow that? Am I the only one who wants to get home for my dinner?

• Leeward mark on opposite tacks
  Two things.
  The rules only work when people take the time to understand them 
  Secondly, why is a fault to set a starboard rounding? People are too quick to criticise race committees. The may have good reason like another club using the same mark, water constraints (fishing rights on lakes). Give the race committee a brake and follow the course set.
