May be a change sould be an extra turn for a port/starboard infrigement. Something that would highly discourage risky behavior. The problem I have with risky crossings with cats are.
1. The closing speeds of the boats.
2. The acceleration that a cat has that a mono does not. This keeps the starboard boat from just turning down to duck.
3. The time/distance lost for the boat that has right away if they have to turn up hard or tack to avoid.
To me a simple turn does not make up for totally scewing up someone elses race.
How often does this scenario you state happen? You guys are proposing fixes to a hypothetical problem that doesn't exist.
Agree, you guys are trying to fix something that is not broken. Jeff when was the last time you were in 60+ boat fleet going around A mark or better yet the gate with a bunch of jacked up A type personalities? The rules in their current form work really well in my opinion.
If you feel that storngly about it put it in your SI's, test the water.
