Which is why, Steffan, I was careful to point out that I was taking the diagram as the "facts found"

Fortunately, judges are not asked to rule on the motivation behind the peculiar things some competitors get up to! In this case one would surmise that Blue wanted Yellow to be in an uncomfortable situation not conducive to a well conducted spinnaker hoist.

But where's the previous and next marks? Whilst the straight line is not the proper course, the direction of the mark does play a part in it.

No, actually. The direction of the next mark would only be important if rule 17.1 was an issue. In the Tss the infringement occurs when Blue (RoW, leeward) luffs without giving Yellow room to keep clear. Rule 16.1
