• Definition "Party" + RRS 76.3
  Thank you Tribhuwan,
  
  Just to clarify my question, RRS 76.3 mentions that a boat or a competitor may ask redress, the thing is that "competitor" is not listed in the RRS definition Party, so I'm not sure if they will be one.
  
  One idea I had is to consider that the competitor can request redress for their boat (the same way a boat can ask redress for other boats) but that he can't request redress for himself. This way we can interpret RRS 76.3 in a way that is compatible with the definition party and with RRS 61.4(b)(1). 
  
  However, I wanted to see what other judges thought.
  
  Any thoughts on this?

  The other typical example used in classrooms is the leeward boat was in the midst of a late luffing maneuver vs Windward to clear a lane below her .. or attempt to push W over the line when the gun goes off.
  
  Leeward needs to fall to her close-hauled course after the gun assuming she has the space to do so.

   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.
