Rules Query

   I apreciate what you are saying Jim, but in practice, how you extracate yourself from a situation when you have been fouled is rarely taken into account, once you are rafted, you an take reasonable steps to prevent damage, including "fending off" seen it many times team racing, and never seen the fouled boat get penalised, whereas have seen the foulling boat get black flagged for doing the same.

	Team racing is a form of the sport utterly alien to me, so I won't comment. In fleet racing I'd want to see fending off being primarily sideways, not pushing one boat forward and another back...
