• Two boats crabbing simultaneously & definition of head to wind
  I think the video shows a good tequnique, and would/should be accepted as ilca practice 
  
  The matters to consider are, principally, the boom push has no associated sculling so it is not in breach of the interpretations.
  
  On the rock, if it propels the boat it is always a breach, we cannot usualy see this, so it does not get penalised.
  
  As to the roll, i think there were at separate times, so not linked, so i go back to whether you are sure it propelled the boat if so penalise 
  
  The above depends on where you are viewing from, if behind, you cannot be sure, if alongside, then you can be sure.
  
  Can be ok therfore, but always a risk of a penalty.
  
  On true or apoarant wind.
  
  Not easy and a contradictory answer.
  
  I go for apparant wind caused by outside factors affecting all boats such as tide.
  
  Wind generated by the boat does not count as it compromises wjen to an outside observer you are such as tacking.

  There's nothing very unique about solo races in that respect. Take for example the Solong/Stena incident where an anchored tanker was hit in reasonable visibility  by another ship under autopilot. The captain is temporarily hosted at one of his Majesty's facilities.

  Craig .. here's the pic for discussion.
  
  

  

  
  
  I've been that starbaord boat .. not on the line but in the middle of the course with no other boats around.  Port was an experienced racer that I knew, we made eye contact and saw each other for 10 BL's. 
  
  By the time I realized he wasn't doing a last sec duck (main sheet got jammed) .. there was nothing I could do.  I think the rule and Case 87 are fine.
  
  The starboard skipper would have to possess the presence of mind to actually turn toward the port boat .. if to have any chance at making more space for port.   In the heat of that split moment ... that's a pretty tall ask IMO.  Turning away from the danger (arguably the natural instinct) .. only works to decrease port's space to avoid.

  Clark ... there are many other examples one can come up with when stepping through the Codes especially, where an OA/RC misinterprets/applies a Code against a person on a competitor-basis.
