• Pondering Rule 3 - Are Race Officers and Organizing Authorities Over-Reaching?
  Reply to Rene:  Absolutely, and the legal side to that is, in virtually every NoR I have seen, all competitors are agreeing to abide by the current RRS, including RRS3. RRS27.3 and RRS32.1.  Simple, done and dusted.

• Time limit in Handicap Racing
  I typically use time to the first mark (20 minutes for around the bouts. Then total time limit or a finish window ( how long after the first boat finishes. The exact time should be how long a typical race is in your lighter conditions and the finish window depends on the differences of the PHRF ratings. I like TLE and in a series which   one more than the number of finishers. DNS is one more than the boats in the series.  Gives recognition to those that came to the starting line even if they did not finish.

  A regular feature of the CIE Optimist Event (International Summer Cup) in France. 400+ boats for a coastal race (yes, you heard correctly!)  SIs in French here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DGqkqE3sk9DocwkCFUjcUmOc4f_A4kFR

• Time Limit Expired (TLE)
  in my opinion, is not a suitable answer in such circumstance. However, TLE encourages boats to start and make every effort to complete, which is correct for small single fleets.
