• Virtual Mark rounding
  I have the attached two documents from 2017 when Virtual Marks were being introduced.
  
  The guidance document, 2.4 says:
  
  (a) A waypoint is not a physical object, and
  
  (d) RRS 18 and RRS 28.2 cannot apply unchanged because a mark is defined as an object.
  
  Does anyone have any insights about the apparent philosophical change?

• Definition "Party" + RRS 76.3
  I agree with Frank.
  
  RRS 61.1(a) says 'A boat may request redress'.
  
  RRS 76.3 says 'Redress may be requested by a ... competitor ...'.
  
  So the entitlement to request redress in RRS 76.3 is additional to the entitlement in RRS 61.1(a).
  
  RRS 63.2 requires the protest committee to hear each protest or request... . So every request must be heard.
  
  RRS 61.4(b) says 'A boat is entitled to redress... ' and RRS 61.4(c) says 'If a boat is entitled to redress, the protest committee shall make as fair an arrangement as possible ...'.
  
  So the entitlement to be given redress is confined only to a 'boat'. If a competitor requests redress in accordance with RRS 76.3, the competitor cannot be given redress, only a boat associated with the competitor can be given redress.
  
  So the boat associated with the competitor is 'a boat for which redress is requested' and, in accordance with RRS Definition Party, that boat is a party to the redress hearing.
