Paul Elvstrøm explains the Racing Rules of Sailing
Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Paul Elvstrøm Genre: Manual Publisher: Adlard Coles Nautical ISBN: 978-1-4729-4660-7 (eBook) Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: n/a Description: The main purpose of this manual is to provide a handy and easily-read guide for all of us to understand and interpret the rules identically. The Racing Rules are probably among the most complicated of any sport. They are hard to comprehend even if a great effort is made, when writing the Rules, to use language that is modern and easily read. There is also a constant flow of new interpretations, clarifications and changes to the Rules. Also, the use of the same Rules in match racing and the introduction of ‘on the water judging’ in fleet races have introduced a more aggressive use of the Rules as a weapon against competitors. The best way to avoid problems is still to sail against others in the same way that you wish to be sailed against. This unwritten rule is the best way of preserving friendships and promoting the desire to participate in sailboat racing. To clarify racing rules, and ensure uniform interpretation and understanding of their meaning, World Sailing publishes a number of official ‘interpretations’ or Cases. The text provides a ready-reference to the Rules, explanatory notes and drawings, and reference to the relevant World Sailing interpretations ‘Cases’ in a handy manual. Its aim is to help officials and competitors alike to learn the Rules easily, to understand them, and to apply them correctly. It also enables protests and disputes to be resolved fairly.
