• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  Scenario #5 ... and what if SR, seeing PE is heading into the space, slows and just lets PE go ahead?  Seems SR can still claim that she had Case 50 reasonable expectation and avoided contact by slowing .. and was denied her MR.  
  
  The only way I see them both going through the space without a rule broken is realizing that, at the zone, only RRS 18 applies.   Therefore, PE's obligation to maneuver in such a way that SR is given MR starts at the zone.  RRS 19 does not apply at that time as they are not "at" the obstruction. 
  
  Scenario #6 ... PE starts to slow as soon as they enter the zone such that overlap is broken before they are "at" the obstruction, therefore 19 doesn't apply. 
  
  PS: If that would make it into the rules ... that would boil down to ... 
  
  

  • Only 19 applies between marks and continuing obstructions
  • Only 18 applies between marks and "simple" obstructions 

  
  If you imagine more boats following .. this could produce an orderly  way of getting through ... as boats behind/outside of PE would owe her MR and would be required to slow to give her space to enter the slot.

• Class breaks in handicap racing
  Yes David, in that scenario would be for sure. I just use the rough 50-50 average here to mentor the young lads (ie don't hide behind it or throw in the towel just becasue of one's handicap) - and inside the boat 50% is the boat itself + 'technology developments' (getting a flying jib or something or rather) by owner, skipper and crew, to gain advantge over competitiors (handicap affect gets a lot less)
