• Avoiding contact, Rule 14 and Case 87
  There is no concept of Right of Way in COLREGS, so it's not apples to apples. The stand on vessel is actually required to to take "such action as best to avoid collision" as soon as she thinks that the give way vessel has not altered course or speed enough to avoid the collision on her own.
  I agree I think you do need that last paragraph, but I do see a case for not allowing a free pass if there was damage. Safety over tactics I'm ok making the ROW boat think twice is the cross is worth it if the other boat isn't looking?  You don't have to succeed in avoiding the collision, but try.  Racing with holes in your boat is slow anyway and we've come a long way with the rules no longer encouraging "tapping out" an opponent.  
  Case 87 is a bad example, what really messes those starts up is there are 3 boats to leeward preventing P3 from ducking and tacking may not avoid impact. P3 still at fault, yes, but there wasn't room to avoid either.

  Clark ... there are many other examples one can come up with when stepping through the Codes especially, where an OA/RC misinterprets/applies a Code against a person on a competitor-basis.

• 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?
