  Ben re: RRS 2 v RRS 69
  
  I agree, it's not an either/or rather a different conclusion of the nature, situation and impact of the action ... and these actions might live in both worlds.  
  
  Let's just consider inappropriate language for the moment. 
  
  If that language was simple foul insult that did not effect the fairness of the competition or actions of other boats on the water ... then that seems to me to be a rule 69 and not a rule 2.
  
  However, if the foul language was used to confuse or intimidate the other competitor into a specific action or inaction on the race course, then I could see that being BOTH rule 2 and rule 69. 
  
  Anyway ... that's how I've thought of it.

• 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.

• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Angelo et al, for my example, more-or-less comporting with your scenario, I took the initial question to be one of 'match racing' (eg couple of F40s), and  thereof, the 'order of precedence'  under defined term APPENDICES; as such APPENDIX C takes precedence. Further noting that, the zone (C2.4) is two boat lengths radius - and while a minium of 3.5mtr to 4mtr gate length is not unkown in match racing (from mark to gate mark (Xmas tree - marked with an X)) I have myself seen it down to and navigated through 2mtrs - equalling the zone radius (enhanced tactical maneuvering - for more skilled matched boats). Classically, PE - seeing SR as row, would simply deaccelerate somewhat and 'chase the stern quarter' of SR around in same arc (no breaches of rules and 'X' is not a continuing obstruction.
