I think the bottom mark rounding is very clear.
I can walk you through it if you want, but I am not spinning anything.
There may be some doubt about the port tacker at the weather mark that would require some interpretation of "altering course," "completed tack," "two length circle" and "above close hauled." But the leward mark rounding is very very cut and dry.
I have pretty modest expectations of racing fleets.
I don't expect that I will hit anybody whether I have right of way or not. Maybe this is old fashioned but that's the way I am. Mom taught me that hitting other boats was a major no no.
In return, I expect that the other competitors are able to manouver their boats such that they don't sink me. And that they have enough respect for the sport and each other to try to play the game fairly.
