[quote=Dogboy]I skimmed the proposed rules and don't see any significant changes over the existing rules other than maybe the addition of the "boundary" definition which really doesn't apply to your average catamaran race. It is mostly just some minor tweaks to the wording of what's already in place. For example in the definition of finish, they took out the clause "any part of her hull, or crew or equipment in normal position, crosses the finishing line" and replaced with just "any part of her hulls." There was probably confusion on whether the tip of the spinnaker pole should be counted or the tip of the bow. It's good to have clarification, but not really what I would consider a game changer.
You also stated "more room at marks," but according to these proposed rules, the Zone is still three boat lengths, so no change there either.
