• Virtual Mark rounding
   Hi Jim,

  No, I did not change the size of the zone or contemplate doing so. When using a waypoint it is very hard/impossible to judge how far one is from a waypoint using a chart plotter or handheld GPS. My view is that for practical purposes the size of the zone is really irrelevant. 

  
  

  In the end I decided to use the WS Appendix WP as is, rather than do something unusual. The thinking is that maybe the drafters thought through the issues better than I did.

• 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.
