Yup, the Rule 55 does curtail the use of sail stops going into a water.
However, some of the venues (OAs) add to the Sailing Inst the following
phrase "RRS 55 - A competitor shall not intentionally put trash in the
water. This rule applies at all times while afloat. The penalty for a
breach of this rule may be less than disqualification. However,
discarding elastic or wool bands when setting a sail is permitted."

Don,
Isn't the use of rubber bands on spinnakers, or yarn, or anything
that goes overboard intentionally during a race, banned by Rule 55 of RRS?
That's what I have read and been told.

Like Morgan I race my boat, so we fold the genoas after each race, a
least once per week, maybe two genoas per race. The mainsail is furled
on the boom and covered. The spinnakers are rubber banded and then care
fully stuffed into a spinnaker turtle.
