To help with some confusion, when a course is designated, such as course D, the Spin A division will sail the spinnaker deep courses and are all considered deep draft which allows them to use the virtual marks if desired. Spin B will sail the spin shallow courses which are different from the Spin A courses for the D course. If the RC puts an A next to the course designation then all boats can use the virtual marks if desired. Non-spin courses for both A and B are the same.
Just to be clear, under the Racing Rules a Gate is a line between two marks. The boat must cross the line and can choose which mark to round. For the Deep draft boats, and when the A course designation is used, the Gate is between government marks 5,7,9 and a virtual gate mark as described in the sailing instructions. ...
