• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Sorry, the overlap begins when the boats get into that position.  Otherwise we need a new definition of overlap that clarifies that an overlap may exist for the purposes of some rules and not others.  So you may be overlapped for the purposes of rules 11, 17, and 18 but not 19?  That's crazy.  Try explaining that to sailors.
  
  I think you can make a very strong argument in this case that rule 19 applied before rule 18.  Sleigh Ride, as the ROW boat, has chosen to pass the obstruction on her starboard side long before she reached the zone of the mark.  By doing so, Sleigh Ride has forgone her entitlement to mark-room because her obligation to give Polar Express room at the obstruction came first.

  That’s fair enough too of course thanks Jim…
  
  

  On your final point, as I read it - STEPS: 1. PC (shall have at least three members) considers allegation of a breach of rule 69.1(a) (PC shall consider & decide whether or not to call a hearing). 2. in considering, if PC needs more information for the decision to call a hearing, it shall consider appointing a person or persons to conduct an investigation (investigator s) produce ‘a report’ of sorts for PC, and shall be disclosed to the PC for their considerations), 3. Hearing Decided (a Rule 69 hearing shall not be combined with any other type of hearing): if the protest committee decides to call a hearing, all relevant information gathered by the investigator, favourable or unfavorable, shall also be disclosed to the parties.

• Rule 55.2 One Spinnaker Pole or Two?
  The Hystericals play their own game though. Didn't they eschew RRS for a long time? A class can permit poling out spinnaker clews in Class Rules/SIs if it so desires.
  But I think the innovation about Buckland/Bethwaite's kites was not the concept of an asymmettric sail on a pole, which was common enough, but that it was a sail set on a bowsprit with a loose luff like a spinnaker, not a taut luff like the old school sails tended to be.
