CSKUDDER - how do you keep your GPS waterproof in the event of a capsize? I know they are typically very water resistant and will keep spray and drops out, but submerged......?

Agreed, but they also allow analog, or normal compass' now as they normally provide a compass bearing at all regattas that helps the sailors with compass' but also for race regulations of course.Simply because the class rules do not permit electronics, including digital compasses etc. The only thing permitted are timing devices. Simple as that.
