• Virtual Mark rounding
  Mark re: "Christian an interesting visual! However, I agree, when you add water to the situation waypoint marks are used in offshore and coastal races and multiple boats simply don’t round the marks together."
  
  Ok ... so why bother defining "zone" in Appx WP?  2 boats meet in the middle of the ocean .. why not let them work it out without 18?
  
  The issue is that we have a 3BL zone defined in the Appx and 18 is still there ...  locating both the WP and the zone in a functional way is a worthy topic driven by Appx WP's contents.

  Boats Scenario is one good option.

• Zone and RRS 18 in a HC fleet with boats of different lengths
  I was being a bit lazy about RRS 14.
  
  Here are some more facts and conclusions
  
  Assuming there was no injury or damage.
  
  Facts
  
  3A.  There was ample space to windward of Y.
  
  
  Conclusions
  
  C1.  Y did not avoid contact with B when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that B was not giving mark-room, to do so. Y broke RRS 14.
  C2.  Y, sailing within the mark-room to which she was entitled, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 by RRS 43.1(c).
  C3.  B did not avoid contact with Y when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that Y was not keeping clear, to do so. Y broke RRS 14.
  C4.  B, a right of way boat, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 by RRS 43.1(c).
  
  F1.  It was not reasonably possible for B acting no sooner than it was clear that G was not giving mark-room, to avoid contact with G.  B did not break RRS 14 with respect to G.
  F2.  G did not avoid contact with B when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that B was not keeping clear, to do so. Y broke RRS 14.
  F3.  G, a right of way boat, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 with respect to G by RRS 43.1(c).
  
  J1.   It was not reasonably possible for G acting no sooner than it was clear that R was not giving mark-room, to avoid contact with R.  G did not break RRS 14 with respect to R.
  F2.  R did not avoid contact with G when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that G was not keeping clear, to do so. R broke RRS 14.
  C4.  R, a right of way boat, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 with respect to G by RRS 43.1(c).
  
  Summary
  
  Boats Y and B.
  
  Both boats broke RRS 14 but both boats are exonerated because there was no injury or damage and each one was either a right of way boat or sailing within the mark-room to which she was entitled.
  
  Boats B and G
  
  B did not break RRS 14 with respect to G.
  
  G broke RRS 14 but is exonerated because there was no injury or damage and she was a right of way boat.
  
  Boats G and R
  
  G did not break RRS 14 with respect to R.
  
  R broke RRS 14  but is exonerated because there was no injury or damage and she was a right of way boat.
