Just wait we have the code for rule 18 working.

Trying to really understand the rules is a nightmare. I've never seen before how things can be stated a way that complicated. And re-reading just makes things worse. No matter if it is the english original or the spanish or french translations.

It is curious too, when dealing with cats, that definitions have to change. I don't think the ISAF rule book is written with cats in mind.

Just a token, the definition of overlap: in many cases a cat that is hitting the rear of another boat and has to be considered the fouling boat might discuss the judgement because THE OTHER HULL (part of the boat) had an overlap.

Or maybe it is that today I've re-read twice the rule 18 and feel completely desolated.
