Either ease the mainsheet a little bit, or head upwind a few degrees. In case you get a wind shift before your mark, if not, you could bear off before you get to the mark. Unless you're required to round to port at the mark.

If done properly with an experienced crew, the Jibe method can get you to the MOB quicker, but is more dangerous because of the boom, and can only be done with winds under 20 kts.

What you see is the Starbord light of the other boat. Which light they see of your's depends on where they are in relation to you. They will see either red, green, or white.

And now I have a question. Listed in the Spare Parts Kit (page 23) are spare parts for the "Reefing Reel". What is a Reefing Reel? Does anyone have any on their boom? (pictures?)
