  Imagine for a moment if our sport allowed boats to use an obstruction as a pick to scrape off their windward rival.
  
  Blue breaks 19.2(b).

• Two boats crabbing simultaneously & definition of head to wind
  I think I can quickly prove to you that we reference points of sail based on true wind. Two pronged argument:
  1) Wikipedia repeatedly references "true wind" in their entry on Point of Sail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sail#No-go_zone
  2) when foiling boats are going downwind and their apparent wind angle is a near reach, we do not describe them as near-reaching, nor as being on a beat to windward. If they briefly point directly downwind, and their sails luff from the bow due to the apparent wind, we would never suggest they were head-to-wind.

  It is simpler and more direct to add to radio sailing NOR or SI:
  "A protesting boat shall inform the other boat at the first opportunity. This adds to E6.3."

  There's nothing very unique about solo races in that respect. Take for example the Solong/Stena incident where an anchored tanker was hit in reasonable visibility  by another ship under autopilot. The captain is temporarily hosted at one of his Majesty's facilities.
