• Definition "Party" + RRS 76.3
  ad 1: If we come to the conclusion that the gap should be closed, I can do that. 
   
  ad 2: We really should think how to keep it as easy and short as possible. There is a difference between 61.1(a) and 76.3. You could change each one of these two. For rules simplicity, I tend to change 76.3. For saveguarding the rights of an excluded person, I would tend to change 61.1(a), and I am with you in your #3. 
  
  If we consider that rights are more important than simplicity, we might follow that path. 
  In real life, I think we would not cut the rights of a person too much if we limit the right to request redress to boats. Remember: Any boat of the fleet is allowed to request the redress. 
  
  Any further ideas?

• Virtual Mark rounding
  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?
