• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  The incident occurred a couple of years ago, but no protest was filed. The outside boat at the mark (Polar Express) felt there wasn't sufficient room to go in without hitting something so went around the tree. At the point Sleigh Ride" would have been about to bear away around the mark, Polar Express would have been about to or have just hit the tree. Polar Express would seem to have a reasonable apprehension of a collision.
   
  Similar to Case 50 the protest committee has to decide if Polar Express has a genuine and reasonable apprehension of collision on her part if she passes the same side of the obstruction as Sleigh Ride. If she does then Sleigh Ride does not give Polar Express room between her and the obstruction and breaks RRS 19.2(b).

• 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)
