• Appointment of an Investigator
  I don't know. It feels to me that not enough weight is being given to the key distinction that
  - a protest is an action by a boat or RC against a boat for that boat's conduct of a race. 
  - an RRS69 hearing is an action by a disciplinary committee against an individual for conduct that need not be related to a race. 
  
  To me that's sufficiently clear in the existing text not to need reinforcement.  There are overlaps of course, but it seems to me they can be minimised. Am i right in thinking that a PC cannot consider RRS69, all it can do is make a report, and an RRS69 hearing cannot turn into a protest?
  Maybe one thing that would clarify is not to describe the body that conducts an RRS69 hearing as a PC.

• 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.

• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Angelo et al, for my example, more-or-less comporting with your scenario, I took the initial question to be one of 'match racing' (eg couple of F40s), and  thereof, the 'order of precedence'  under defined term APPENDICES; as such APPENDIX C takes precedence. Further noting that, the zone (C2.4) is two boat lengths radius - and while a minium of 3.5mtr to 4mtr gate length is not unkown in match racing (from mark to gate mark (Xmas tree - marked with an X)) I have myself seen it down to and navigated through 2mtrs - equalling the zone radius (enhanced tactical maneuvering - for more skilled matched boats). Classically, PE - seeing SR as row, would simply deaccelerate somewhat and 'chase the stern quarter' of SR around in same arc (no breaches of rules and 'X' is not a continuing obstruction.
