• About New Rule 17
  My understanding of RRS 17 is that it has to fulfil the following criteria:

  • Overlap established from Clear Astern
  • Boat Clear Astern has to be the Leeward boat when overlapping on the same tack
  • Has to be within two of her hull lengths.
  • Then she may not sail above her proper course.

  
  Hence, I would say in the diagram above, the boats at position 2 are when they are both on the same tack, the grey boat is not clear astern and rule 17 doesn't come into play.

• How to substitute recalls with starting penalties in NOR or SI
  I have to disagree with John.  For the typical application of this rule change, the language below is much simpler than DR21-01...
  
  Suggested NOR/SI rule:
  "A boat scored as OCS shall have xx minutes added to her corrected time and occupy the corresponding finishing place.  For safety, OCS boats shall not restart and the time penalty shall stand.  This changes RRS 28.1, 28.2 and 29.1."
  
  Note: If you want to allow boats the ability to clear their OCS by restarting, then omit the second sentence and leave 28.2 & 29.1 unchanged.
  
  The point of RRS A5.1 is to empower the RC to score a boat without a hearing, not to specify the penalty.  The 'accorded' penalties - whatever they may be - are specified by other rules.  Thus, I don't believe A5.1 is changed in this case.

  I also use REDI-TAG #B39020. I did it a bit differently to keep items color coded.

  To further Michael's thought, Einstein taught us that space and time are inextricably linked.  :-D
