Gave me a chuckle thinking about Lee boat cutting him off, prior to this the drag race would have been won by windard boat.

I'm having trouble visualising the situation:-

There's a rounding park (to port), which as soon as the shorten course is signalled, it becomes the left hand end. Is that looking upwind or down wind?
I'm reading the situation as a hook finish - if so, then there are other porblems.
If that's wrong, then rule 18 applies, overlapped within 3 boat lengths, inside boat has right to mark room - unless the outside boat can't (not won't) give it.

Was previously the downwind 'leeward' mark so was a straight downwind finish.

Why not?  Rule 18. Mark room.

You're not obliged to give room at the start.. are you at the finish?

Did it look something like that?

Section C rules do not apply at a starting mark surrounded by navigable water or at its anchor line from the time boats are approaching them to start until they have passed them. 

No mention what so ever of it not applying at a finish, any big fleet race has tons of people screaming for room at the finish

That's exactly the scenario

Thank you
