Racing rules 2005 - 2008

On my wish list for the rules:

An unambiguous Case in the Case Book clearly indicating that bullying, including use of bad language, on the water or after the race is a clear infringement of Rule 2, and, in particular, that when any adult using bullying to gain an advantage over juniors there should automatically be action taken under rule 69.

I have to often seen boats arriving at a congested mark rounding and forcing their way through the ruck by an over zealous use of f-ing and blinding, sometimes insulting other competitors... this should not be a feature of our sport especially when we are trying to encourage more ladies and youngsters into sailing

A hail of "Water" followed by the boat number of the boat involved should be enough... if not the next words should not be *!§&*!... but simply "Protest".

The only permissible swearing on boars a boat is when the crew is expressing their opinion of the source of all error's(aka the helmsman) ability!

and then that will change back again next time and so on....

i wonder why no-one can remember what the rules are....
