Glad this was reviewed by Dave Perry. Perhaps under the new rule we have been using, “close” would be replaced by proper course, which would be as close as reasonable to pass on the correct side of pin without a chance of touching it. This would not allow the inside boat with rights to drive down the finishing line and force other boats to finish later. Bill also pointed out a good issue of the need of a port tack finisher to avoid starboard tack finishers immediately after finishing.
