I actually believe that Gurra Kranz rule is far too simple to be succesful while at the same time I believe a serious rewrite of the RRS could do wonders.

I've raced under a different set of rules while landyachting and they work out fine. Note that a collision there typically results in hospitalization.

To give one example. The guy coming from the right always has right of way unless both are on the same tack and the lee ward landyacht has rights. Just forget about where your sails are or on what tack you are.

Also removed any "proper sailing course / layline" restrictions ; they are impossible to enforce on the water without a referree boat.

I see potential to really simplify the rules for small racing boats where they big boats and AC boats just use the old set.
