• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Angelo, that was exactly my thinking up thread. SR cannot provide room between the objects for another boat, so is not required to. But what I now struggle with is under what rule is she entitled to pass between the objects as opposed to wrong side? I'm not convinced the other boats requirement to give mark room is enough.
  A ROW boat that has tacked in the zone may be required to pass wrong side, and the solution to that problem is to not get yourself in the situation in the first place. Maybe this is analagous, and ROW must avoid the situation by going round both objects?
  I agree that there's a sound argument for either interpretation. We have a case for squeeze between mark and continuing obstruction, perhaps one for the other situation would be useful. It can't come up often though. The sensible RC will find a way to avoid the chicane.

• "Rules Governing the Duration of Flag D Display Ashore Before Start"
  Sorry but neither the SI nor the competitors meeting is a right place to explain flags (with pictures), point from the SI or rules. Each participant is responsible for this by themselves. Maybe a friendly reminder to the competitors where to find further informations is a good practise.

• Appointment of an Investigator
  That’s fair enough too of course thanks Jim…
  
  

  On your final point, as I read it - STEPS: 1. PC (shall have at least three members) considers allegation of a breach of rule 69.1(a) (PC shall consider & decide whether or not to call a hearing). 2. in considering, if PC needs more information for the decision to call a hearing, it shall consider appointing a person or persons to conduct an investigation (investigator s) produce ‘a report’ of sorts for PC, and shall be disclosed to the PC for their considerations), 3. Hearing Decided (a Rule 69 hearing shall not be combined with any other type of hearing): if the protest committee decides to call a hearing, all relevant information gathered by the investigator, favourable or unfavorable, shall also be disclosed to the parties.

• 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.
