For anyone interested in brushing up on the rules before we get too far into the season, this looks like a good website. It has animations of lots of scenarios and when you've had a guess at the answer it explains the rules that apply. Neat! I've learned something already!

Play the Rules

I found this link on the Mannering Park YC web site.

G,day Tim
I totally agree, easy and fun to use especially for novices [ like me ] right through to experienced sailors. Can easily be found on the Mannering Park YC home pg. Worth adding it to your favourites

Remember that it is explaining the current rules which will be out of date on January 1st 2009. Read the sailing instructions for any regattas around that time to find out which set of rules are in place for the regatta.

Nothing major from the reports I've seen. Mainly the number of boat lengths zone coming into marks, I think it is three by default now. It would be good to extend this to 4 boat lengths for fast cats, which can be done in the sailing instructions.

It appears that the over lap rule is to extended to three boat lengths....hmmm....good or bad is a personal opinion but sur makes mark rounding a procession....where the hell has the fun gone?????
Anyway, these decisions have been made by someone supposedly smarter than us mere mortals...

Enjoy them, they are what we have to work with...so enjoy them, learn them and race with them..
