• Rule 17 upwind before and after the start.
  Agree with your thoughts and Frank's addition. Your proper course is the course you would sail to get around the course as quickly as possible in the absence of the other boat referred to in the rule. In the absence of boat Y, boat X would have luffed up to clear the pin, as Frank said. So that is her proper course.

  With respect to the 5 decimal places, I asked Stan Honey for his opinion. Here is his reply:
  "In my view, a waypoint defined by coordinates is mathematically a zero dimensional point.  It is a location with no physical size.  I don’t think it should matter whether it is defined in the SIs as 38 00.00000N 122 00.00000W, or 38N 122W.  Either way the location is defined exactly and the point has no dimensions and no uncertainty.  Although if folks writing the SIs want to specify the trailing zeros it does no harm but it doesn’t change the location or characteristics of the waypoint.  It still has zero dimensions and is mathematically a point."
