Warren .. found it.  I haven't visited it since 2021 so it is what it is.  Just to be clear, it was just a simple compilation of all the rules that we should check ..  to see if there was need of a change to those rules (if allowed by RRS 86). 

Spreadsheet: Rules that use Start and the rules those rules touch

There are 2 sheets .. one was based upon the terms .. the next was sorted by the rule.   Anyway .. it was just a WIP worksheet to get a scope of all the places we should look if an NOR/SI approach was used (as apposed to the WS DR). - Ang

Rule J2.1 (4) requires the sailing instructions to state the order in which marks are to be passed and the side on which each is to be left. 

In the diagram below:

The race committee has two courses A and B.

If course A was signaled. Mark 2s is not a mark that begins, bounds or ends the leg of the course and can be touched and passed on either side. Mark 2p is not a gate mark. 

If course B was signaled. Mark 2s is a mark that begins, bounds or ends the leg of the course and cannot be touched and must passed to starboard. Rule 18.4 does not apply. Mark 2p is a gate mark.

I will attemp a guide next week, at an event at the moment. 

Ben,

1. I enclose an extract of relevant portion of Case 50.

A starboard-tack boat in such circumstances need not hold her course so as to

she does so she will break rule 14.

The fact that L took action to avoid collision at a time when W also initiated action implies there was an apprehension in the mind of L. W, as per me, took the action late.

2.  Case 50 does not say anywhere that it can be applied to rule 11.

Thanks for your thoughts, @Christopher Walmsley.  To the question you pose regarding the situation where Yellow is 'moving slowly, or almost stationary' then I would suggest Blue has the option to 'pass' on either side but then has to satisfy 19.2 (a) and 19.2 (b).  Presumably if Blue chose to bear off and 'pass' a slow moving (or stationary) Yellow on their port side, remaining on port gybe, she is obligated to leave room for Green to do the same, 'unless she has been unable to do so from the time the overlap began.'   In our scenario, however, I would contend that they were unable to 'pass' Yellow by bearing off and only had one side they could have chosen. to 'pass'.  I do think they exercised a third option .... to 'avoid' by gybing which, as ROW boat they were free to do.  If they chose instead to 'pass' Yellow on their starboard side (the only side they could 'pass' the obstruction in this case) by heading up, then Green is burdened potentially both by RRS 11 but also by 19.2 (b).

That leads to one further question in my mind.  We don't know how the overlap between Blue and Green came about, however if Blue came from behind to establish the overlap (before the diagram starts), are they relieved of their obligation under RRS 17 with regard to Green by RRS 19.2 (b)?   She certainly sails above her proper course to take Yellow's stern if she heads up to do so.
