• "Room to tack" (yes, I'm still working on this)
  Going back to my preoccupation with high performance boats that need to tack cleanly first time, it seems to me that if blue's 'control' of tacking speed were to disadvantage yellow so that she cannot tack in a normal seamanlike manner then yellow would have an excellent case to claim that she wasn't given appropriate room.

  I don't know to be honest. Canoe racing (which started off with sailing rather than paddling) predates dinghy racing, but post dates the very earliest yacht racing. When one looks at those rules it's evident that one is seeing the ancestors of much of the current rule set. However my guess - I haven't gathered evidence - is that it probably only means that there was something of a consensus between different clubs in the sports as to what racing rules should look like, and there was copying and cross fertilisation going on. But 1910 is as early as I found in RCC archives, and by that date the sport was already decades old.

  Ben and others 'CAS Checklist'

  Just the normal 'official' one we know which RRS.org even uses.
  
  CAS Checklist
  
  Perhaps someone can correct me. Paul / Rob Overton? 
  
  I think it was originally developed around 2015 following an IOC requirement for all Olympic sports  to align their dispute resolution processes with Court of Arbitration for Sports guidelines. Something like that. 
  
  So in International Jury events (issues most likely to go to end up at CAS if any) it was what had to be used. 

  
  I'm aware that in CAS terms sailing protest hearings hover around the boundary of 'field of play' decisions and off field tribunals:  they are clearly not protected as 'field of play' decisions, but they are characterised by attenuated procedural fairness processes.
  
  Can anyone provide some documents that explain how and why CAS gets to prescribe a checklist for sailing protests?

  Sandy - you are such a geek, and I mean that in the most respectful and jealous way.
