Correct course to sail?

But I'm afraid that the time taken from when the 'facts are known' (RYA Appeal 89/9) until FFSake obtains advice from this forum, then submits a request for redress would likewise be outside the protest time limit and beyond the reasonable time that the protest committee should extend to.  Case 102 says you can't delay a request for redress until you know the effect it will have on your series place:  all the moreso, you can't delay your request until you have consulted Gordon on the internet <g>.

What I meant was that each of the diagrams in Addendum A, identify each mark as a rounding mark (geometrically, to be rounded at a reflex angle).

Is the counter example you are suggesting where, on a triangle course, the RC shifts the Windward mark so far to the left that it becomes to leeward of the Wing mark, without shifting the Wing to maintain configuration?

In that case I agree that Leeward - Windward then Leeward would leave Wing on the required side, and no requirement to loop Wing can be implied, but I don't agree that this would be a 'conventional' triangle.

I agree.

I disagree.  The drafting note to L9.2 says 'Unless it is clear from the course diagrams list the marks that are rounding marks'

I understand this to mean that if it is clear from the course diagrams that marks are rounding marks then that is what they are, without the need to say so in words in L9.2.

I have difficulty following your example.

If wind changes from 000 degrees to 090 degrees, and RC moves the Leeward mark to be dead downwind of the Windward mark, then course from Windward to new Leeward mark is going to be 270 degrees not 090 degrees.

Once the RC moves the Leeward mark from its old position to a new position West and downwind of the Windward mark, how is the old position of the leeward mark relevant?

The way I see it is that for any of the courses pictured in Addendmum A, marks are all geometrically rounding marks, unless the RC moves one mark and does not move others to maintain the course shape.
