I have questions about the start and finish lines, for which I think somewhat different rule is applied from the weather/leeward mark rounding. Is my following understand correct?
(1) Start line: If I did not recall, but touched the pin or committee boat after the starting gun, I can clear it by doing one 360 penalty turn. I do not need to re-cross the start line.
(2) Start line: Before the starting gun, I can luff more than close hold to prevent other boat from coming between me and committee boat, but after the gun, I need to go back to close hold.
(3) Start line: Regardless of before the start gun or after the gun, I cannot request room for the 3-boat-length overlap that can be applied for the weather/leeward mark. I also cannot request the room to avoid obstacles.
(4) Finish line: If I touched the pin and crossed the finish line, I do not need to round the pin and re-cross the finish line, but I need to do 360 penalty turn after crossing the finish line. Once I finish the penalty turn, then committee count me as I finished the race.
(5) I am approaching to the committee boat side with starboard tack, but I am in abeam rather than close hold as I over-sailed. There is a boat approaching in close hold to the committee boat end, and I overlapped. But I cannot request the room to cut in between the boat and the committee boat, as he is the leeward boat who gas the right of the way.
