The 16th edition of this bestselling pocket reference for racers has been completely revised to cover the new rules for 2009-2012. It includes the full text of the new racing rules with a handy 'Quick Guide to the Changes' at the front. Each rule is carefully analysed, and the situations likely to be met with in a race are explained with helpful 'birds eye' line drawings cross-referenced to the relevant rule.

Customer Reviews

Elvstrom explains - essential for serious racing sailors
This book is a must have for any serious sailors who race - its hopefully a book that you won't have to use in anger very much, but it is a great guide to the latest sailing rules and, more importantly, the interpretation of them in real cases and situations. This is an indispensible book for settling arguments in the clubhouse over a beer and for reading if involved in a protest - hopefully this will be a rare occurrence. Oh, and it has the famous plastic boats included....

Best rules book out there.
Title says it all.

I had the last version and updated with this new rules version. So now I have two sets of plastic templates!
