• Virtual Mark rounding
  I have to disagree. In my OP I made the point of repeated rounding and boats did round in proximity. Also boats were scored NSC for missing the mark making it more likely for a leeward boat to want to avoid this. It never happens until it happens.

  Boats Scenario is one good option.

• Zone and RRS 18 in a HC fleet with boats of different lengths
  I was being a bit lazy about RRS 14.
  
  Here are some more facts and conclusions
  
  Assuming there was no injury or damage.
  
  Facts
  
  3A.  There was ample space to windward of Y.
  
  
  Conclusions
  
  C1.  Y did not avoid contact with B when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that B was not giving mark-room, to do so. Y broke RRS 14.
  C2.  Y, sailing within the mark-room to which she was entitled, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 by RRS 43.1(c).
  C3.  B did not avoid contact with Y when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that Y was not keeping clear, to do so. Y broke RRS 14.
  C4.  B, a right of way boat, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 by RRS 43.1(c).
  
  F1.  It was not reasonably possible for B acting no sooner than it was clear that G was not giving mark-room, to avoid contact with G.  B did not break RRS 14 with respect to G.
  F2.  G did not avoid contact with B when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that B was not keeping clear, to do so. Y broke RRS 14.
  F3.  G, a right of way boat, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 with respect to G by RRS 43.1(c).
  
  J1.   It was not reasonably possible for G acting no sooner than it was clear that R was not giving mark-room, to avoid contact with R.  G did not break RRS 14 with respect to R.
  F2.  R did not avoid contact with G when it was reasonably possible for her, acting no sooner than it was clear that G was not keeping clear, to do so. R broke RRS 14.
  C4.  R, a right of way boat, and contact not causing any damage or injury, is exonerated for breaking RRS 14 with respect to G by RRS 43.1(c).
  
  Summary
  
  Boats Y and B.
  
  Both boats broke RRS 14 but both boats are exonerated because there was no injury or damage and each one was either a right of way boat or sailing within the mark-room to which she was entitled.
  
  Boats B and G
  
  B did not break RRS 14 with respect to G.
  
  G broke RRS 14 but is exonerated because there was no injury or damage and she was a right of way boat.
  
  Boats G and R
  
  G did not break RRS 14 with respect to R.
  
  R broke RRS 14  but is exonerated because there was no injury or damage and she was a right of way boat.
