• When is an entry an entry?
  Not always the correct question.
  
  The defect in dnc is not a problem is the series has a large munber if discards.
  
  Online entry at champioships normally has registration if not registered you did not enter. This solves lots of problems.
  
  If your club has a sign in out requirement.
  
  Why not make signing in an entry requirement, then your problem is solved.

• Fix for RRS 60.4(a)(2) – Validity
  Ben, that was also exactly my first thought.  I can't think of another instance where a Case is going to tell us how to read the English language. 
  
  I'd love to understand why they don't just put in the US sailing correction directly in an RRS 2026 corrections doc.

• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Do the rules have to take precedence , one over the other , 18 or 19  ? I guess not , each being clearly on its own ground !
  
  That said , it must definitely clearly emerge which one applies ,from when to when , with absolute clarity on the transitions from one to another ,  or back and forth.
  
  To begin with in a scenario , If 18 applies and 19 does not , and boats are initially committed according , say the inside one starts rounding , she must have the mark room all the way till the Mark is astern of her .
  
  Between two boats at the Mark , with the inside boat in the process of rounding,19 may have switched on too late and can only have an effect on what the inside boat can or can not do after the rounding . 
  
  My 2 bits .

• Measurement Basis of Hull Length or Hull Lengths and Associated Rules
  I'm not sure that the recent revisions involving hull have been an improvement. We have the situation where bowsprit doesn't count for over the line or hull length, but does count for overlap. And ERS isn't that helpful when it comes to hull length. If you take a modern 18 or other similar craft there's a nominally vertical stem, but a tube projecting from that, with bracing structure both beneath and to each side. Throroughly part of the hull. OK, count it as bow sprit. Maybe. But in other classes you have exactly the same, but a solid construction. Look at these two. Where, in ERS terms is the bow on each, and how on earth do you tell who is over if you are sighting a busy startline?

• 1.1 Helping Those in Danger and Redress Race Time Adjustment
  Very practical method Alan - and 'refreshing' (for the routine ones I have PC experience in, we just did the corection calcs within ourselves - this case a major one) - for ourselves, easy enough to submit to the PC, when national level racing, as we always log all such baseline performance & tracking data from the onset of every race (and event YB Tracker always used etc).
