1Tom HaganRe: 16.2 under Changing Course. It seems to me the rule was tightened up a bit by 1) saying it only applies on an upwind leg, but at the same time loosened it a bit by saying 2) 'pass to leeward' instead of 'pass astern.' What is the intention of this change? Also, it seems to me that passing astern can only apply upwind i.e. the change for 1 makes 2 unnecessary.

4Travis GregoryTwo boats on port tack, the windward boat tacks but doesn't have enough room to clear the stern of the leward boat. They duck and protest that they are on starboard.

5Travis GregoryWindward Mark Rounding - Boat on Port chooses a lane and tacks in traffic onto starboard. The boat completes the tack and is on starboard but in disturbed air and not as fast. as a boat behind. Boat behind protests that they were fouled. Who is in the right?

6Chris WilliamsIts a 5 knot breeze before the start in Lasers. I am almost close-hauled approaching the line when a leeward boat, going just a bit faster overlaps me to 3 feet to leeward. Upon getting the overlap, he heads up slowly and I respond. I get above close hauled and lose way. The leeward boat keeps luffing and hits me. I had gotten as high as I could go before losing way and losing ability to steer. So I did not keep clear. Am I at fault, and if so, what can I do to protect myself?

7Chris WilliamsFor the third session: While this action was early in a seried it made no sense, but it happened to me so I am asking it. Two boats are on a run, on port, heading to a mark to be rounded to port. They are overlapped and a half boatlength apart. The leeward boat previously gybed onto port and has luffing rights. 7-8 boatlengths from the mark it starts luffing and stays out of the zone,carrying both boats past the mark. Since rule 18 never kicked in, I assume the leeward boat was within its rights. I was the windward boat and tacked around to get to the mark. Was the leeward boat right?

8Chris WilliamsIn the new rules, a "line" can be designated as an obstruction. However, if I am sailing downwind in a Laser, approaching the starting line, which is "closed" (and not designated an obstruction,) and I am heading right at the anchored 20 foot committee boat, doesn't the boat qualify as an obstruction itself?

9Mike RileyAre you on a starboard tack, boom to port, if you are artificially preventing the boom from swinging to starboard? IE. holding the boom with your hand in a downwind leg.
