The slowing down trick mentioned by Jefferes works a treat. at the topper nationals last year there were about 30 boats trying to round the leward mark in 5 knots, with the tide pushing them downwind- you can imagine the chaos! I slowed down, and snuck into the 1 boat lenght gap that had opened up without infringing the rafted boats who were drifting with the tide away from the mark! About the only thing I did right all week! |

A lot of this stuff turns up in Y&Y or the other magazine on a regular basis ... if you've been a subscriber for a while you will have read most. Also many of us have a guide to the rules book which gives examples - if every 4 years you buy a book by a different author you end up with even more examples of the rules. Then of course there's just sailing and gaining experience as you go along, courses, class coaching, club coaching - If you've been sailing a long time then you tend to know a lot (although not everything) - problem is some of it might be wrong

Just stuff I pick up from talking to people and I had flicked through the ISAF case book on a couple of occasions looking for definitions/test cases.
Most of it comes from analysing a situation after a race, measuring the rules against it and working out what to do next time. Simple really....(haha) |

Lots of opinions here and all good areas for discussion. Just a couple of spanners in the works...some of these rules are different, or removed altogether in team racing, so be aware of these differences, the most interesting is the removal of rule 18.4, allowing you to sail the other team off the course. For clarification, the book 'The rules in Practice' with drawings shows exactly the situation that started this thread, with two boats on a run on opposite tacks. Have a look, it shows all the options, quotes the rules at the appropriate points and gives a good flow through various options. |

There are quite a few sites with 'quizzes' to help you learn the rules. One good one is at http://www.ukhalsey.com/ go to the site and click the link in the leaft hand menu - you do have to subscribe. |
