• Rule 18.3
  Ang thanks I see your scenario does mention Yellow forcing Cyan down below the mark. Agree 11 is broken in that scenario. Thanks for digging up the 2018 reference to 18.3 not ending until the two boats leave the zone. That was an interesting learning.

• What makes on-the-water shouting become "bad manners" or "unsporting"?
  Note in the definition it states “referred to in the rule using the term.”  In other words , Proper Course only exists when a rule uses the term, like RRS 17.  Since RRS 10 & 11 don’t  use the term it fires not apply.
  Proper Course  A course a boat would choose in order to sail the course as quickly as possible in the absence of the other boats referred to in the rule using the term. A boat has no proper coursebefore her starting signal.

  YES - it is a crew-position on these boats. This person is measuring depth as these barges mainly sail on lakes and a full daggerboard will stick over 2 meters depth. You can see yellow and red tape on the stick and also on the daggerboard edge. When the stick is in at yellow, the daggerboard trimmer will keep the board at that mark (that is manual hoisting, as most is all manual).  In light winds pushing with for instance a longer, bigger stick is not allowed and will lead to DSQ.

  In our area, we often put the Sail Canada RC flag up once the signal boat is on station for the first race of the day - Lima is only used to signal "come within hail" if we need that or "Follow me" if the signal boat is changing its position.  It comes down sometime before the first warning of the day.  
  The orange flag goes up as  the SI's require or if there is no rule, once the starting line is more or less set, and is up by the time of the warning signal, if there is no delay (if there is, it may be up, but AP goes up).  The orange flag comes down when there is no longer a need for it:  once all boats have started or starting windows have all closed, whichever comes first.  It may stay up all day, if starts and finishes are more or less continuous.

  My bad. I realised that if I  selected a live event I could initiate hearing requests from my phone.
  This highlights a point that I have often encountered - race officials are often surprising un-informed of how the competitor uses the system the system.
