• 1.1 Helping Those in Danger and Redress Race Time Adjustment
  Very practical method Alan - and 'refreshing' (for the routine ones I have PC experience in, we just did the corection calcs within ourselves - this case a major one) - for ourselves, easy enough to submit to the PC, when national level racing, as we always log all such baseline performance & tracking data from the onset of every race (and event YB Tracker always used etc).

• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Angelo,
  
  I don't extend rule 19 or a part of it.
  Rule 19.2(b) itself refers to "from the time the overlap began".

  Have a look at Equipment Rules of Sailing:
  Part 2 – Definitions
  Section D – Hull Definitions

• Rule 55.2 One Spinnaker Pole or Two?
  Gary, the issue is not whether the spinnaker is asymmetric or not. It is about the attachment of the pole to the sheet or clew of the spinnaker (RRS 55.3).
  
  Old sailors might say 'one clew of the sail must fly free'.
  
  In your 18 footer illustration, the tack of the spinnaker is on the pole, however complicated the guying/bracing arrangement of the pole may be, but the clew and the sheet are not attached to anything exerting outward pressure.

• "Rules Governing the Duration of Flag D Display Ashore Before Start"
  Andreas, I don't agree that illustrations of flags used should not be included in SI.
  
  RRS Race Signals includes pictures of all flags referred to.  That indicates that the SI, when prescribing a new flag signal may do the same.
  
  I've frequently seen flags to be used, and actual marks, being displayed at Competitors' Briefings.
  
  Why is this a bad practice?
