• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  It might be interesting to role play the protest hearing.
  
  But I still come back to the fact that there was never room for two overlapped boats to pass between the two obstructions, albeit one is a mark.
  
  RRS18 turns on before 19, we are agreed on that. Does anything turn off 18?
  
  Because of the lack of room for both to pass, in order for RRS19 to apply I suggest 18 must turn off. If it doesn't turn off then I submit Polar must pass the other side of the obstruction, and I suggest this is legitimate because the inherent difference between obstruction and continuing obstruction is that one may pass the other side of a non continuing obstruction.
  
  An interesting thought is that if the mark were not a mark, and RRS19 applied to both, then I suggest Polar would have no choice but to leave *both* obstructions to port (or starboard) in order to fulfil her obligations. She would, not, I believe, be able to pass between without breaking 19.

• Class breaks in handicap racing
  Yes David, in that scenario would be for sure. I just use the rough 50-50 average here to mentor the young lads (ie don't hide behind it or throw in the towel just becasue of one's handicap) - and inside the boat 50% is the boat itself + 'technology developments' (getting a flying jib or something or rather) by owner, skipper and crew, to gain advantge over competitiors (handicap affect gets a lot less)
