Forum Moderation Note:
- To make sure contributions are referencing the Test Rule, when we reference the rules in our discussion, let us distinguish between the current rule and Test Rule by using "RRS" and "TR" preceding the rule.
- The entire discussion doesn't have to be in one thread. That's why we made a sub-category for this .. so we can have individual topics focused on different observations and questions. I think it would be easier for Dave and his team to follow the issues if each question had it own thread.

2022 Test Rule 18 Information
From: Dave Perry, Chair of the WS Rule 18 Working Party
The World Sailing Rule 18 Working Party is trying to find ways to simplify rule 18 (Mark-Room) without making significant changes to the current game. We have created a test rule 18 for 2022 which is 20% shorter than the current rule, removing much extraneous and complex wording. It contains simplifications such as making mark-room the same for all inside boats whether they have the right-of-way or not and whether the leeward mark is a single mark or a gate mark, creating a clear end point for when rule 18 stops applying, and allowing boats to gybe at the windward or offset marks when their proper course is to gybe.

The Rule 18 WP is inviting sailors and race officials around the world to study the test rule, take the 2022 Test Rule 18 Quiz, and if possible use the test rule in their racing between now and July 15, 2022.

Proper course has disappeared.
I thought that proper course was the centrepiece of the Test Rule.
Is here a report or assessment of the Test Rule that has been published that may explain why proper course is no longer in the proposal?
