Is there a study version showing the changes?

The vertical line to the right shows where there are changes.

Study version doesn't seem to have been published yet. Unfortunately the revision marking in the version that has been published is incomplete (doesn't include Appendicies).

IIRC, the revision markings of past rulebooks didn't included appendices either.

Indeed, but the 2013-2016 study version did.

I'd be surprised if they do one. Lot of work for limited benefit.

I personally found it useful to be able to understand the background to the changes last time around. I also assumed that it had been produced during the re-drafting process (as an aide for the committee), rather than as an afterthought, but I might be wrong about that. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Does anyone understand the changes to 18, why does tacking in the zone now only apply at port hand roundings?

It was never very relevant at starboard hand marks anyway, because the boats have to get on port to round the mark so the boat coming in on the "wrong" tack has right of way.
The original argument in the submission was this.

Honestly I think this just complicates matters, now we have different rules applying depending on which way you are going round the mark? People barely know the rules as it is.
It also changes the game in team racing a bit, I've certainly used this rule at starboard hand mark 1's before.
