Synopsis
This book looks at the key situations that occur on the racecourse, from the viewpoint of each helmsman in turn. It summarises what each may, must, or cannot do. It is a completely revised edition for 2005-2008 with a special analysis of the latest rule changes. It is extended to contain the latest Rules and Appendices in full.

From the Back Cover
Approach boat–to–boat situations with confidence, clarity and certainty.

It is a popular fallacy among racing sailors that you need to know the rules. You do need to know your rights and obligations on the water – but the rules can always be looked up afterwards. The rules in practice looks at the key situations that occur repeatedly on racecourses, from the view point of each helmsman in turn, and summarises what each may, must, or cannot do. Armed with this information you will have the confidence to exploit your rights to the full, on the water and in the protest room.

The 2005–2008 Edition has been completely revised to cover the latest rule changes, and is now in full colour.
