I was most concerned about the upwind. So, I didn't really explain correctly: it's a  dog-leg reach from the gate to a mark set off the starboard bow of the signal boat. 
I've used that a lot for cats. Do you think that creates any problems?

Draftable has a button to download the compared version.

RRS 63.5(a) requires protest committees to find facts 'based on the balance of probabilities (unless an applicable rule requires otherwise)'.

Finding fault of a boat’s own is a conclusion rather than a fact, so it's a matter fo  logical reasoning and judgemt by the protest committee, but, as fa  as it's relevant, I can't see any reason to depart from balance of probabilities.

Maybe it would help the discussion along if you pitched up a concrete example where you would be uncomfortable with BoP.

David,  I just attach the connecting line to the top of the barging buoy.

Surely you don't need a barging buoy to prevent boats colliding with your tower?
