Matt,
The penalty in match racing is not a One or Two Turn penalty (see RRS C7.2).
The point of my comment on MR Call N6 is that the attempt to define a tack was irrelevant to deciding whether Yellow had taken her penalty correctly. RRS C7.2 requires a boat to pass head to wind and then bear away at the first reasonable opportunity to a course that is more than 90° to the wind.  Reaching a close-hauled course is incidental, and has no relevance for the penalty.

Which will convince me better that you were anxious.

"I hailed Starboard. They ignored me. I hailed louder again shouting you need to tack too. They ignored me. I altered course"

"I wasn't sure if they saw me and I was anxious so I altered course"

Can you expand on this?

John, I am glad that the WASZP rules are working in practice.  I think that the wingfoils will go a different direction, with little or no limitations, at least in part because they are always in the standing position.  I think that should be up to the fleet decide and adopt in their class rules so we shall see as the class matures.

I'm with Phillip, in the definition its a measure, and that measure should be consistent. A less than competent crew is not entitled to more room than an expert one, and would be breaking a rule if they require it (lets leave room made freely available out of it for now).  Similarlty an expert crew is allowed the same room as a competent one, even though they may not need it,

John, I agree with you about reasonable apprehension and skill level, but I think its a red herring in the context of Room and Case 103.
