Hi Scooby -
Could you expand upon point number 6? I have seen several debates in the last couple of seasons about the boat with rights making the rounding, even when gates are in use. Skippers look back, shout "no room!" to the guy that has no overlap, and promptly steer way down to make a wide entry. I've seen, more than once, someone VERY close on the lead boat's transoms round tight instead of wide, jumping through the hole made by mister "no room" as he steers wide. Of course, much righteous shouting ensues and both parties think they're correct, even if there is no contact and no change of course to avoid.
