Neither Wouter or I have posted our opinions on the topic, so I dont see why we are used as an argument. That is unless you are making a point here.
On the Tornado you dont have time to douse within the two boatlength circle unless you are there alone in weak winds and coming in deep. Even then it would be hard to make a good rounding. Staying out of trouble is fast, and the best sailors stay out of troubly by being around the marks first. That is my experience. (But even then they are sometimes run down by other boats coming in after them)

Interesting how much room there is for discussion and interpretions on the racing rules of sailing.
