The Rules Book. The 1981-84 International Yacht Racing Rules Explained
Year: 1981 Language: english Author: Twiname E., Sambrooke-Sturgess G. Genre: Manual Publisher: Sail Books Edition: 2nd ISBN: 0-229-11659-0 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 157 Description: The rules of sailing are complex. There’s no getting away from that. But there are ways of making rule knowledge much more accessible and the rules themselves easier to understand. This book is written very much with those two aims in mind. Anyone who races sailing boats needs to know something about the rules. To begin with you only need know enough to get a boat round the course without fouling the others. Later the rules become tactically important because they define what moves you are allowed to make when trying to overtake other boats and, just as important, what tricks other people might legitimately use in trying to overtake you. So the crucial point about learning the sailing rules is that your knowledge needs to be a working knowledge. There is little point in learning the rules merely to be able to quote chapter and verse. That won’t help you on the water, whereas a good working knowledge certainly will, since rule knowledge is a vital department of your racing skills -as important as knowledge of wind and weather. The International Yacht Racing Union’s (lYRU) racing rule book is something most people approach at best reluctantly. For one thing it’s usually only approached at all when you’ve got a problem. Which puts it immediately into the category of garages, police stations and dentists. But with the difference that most times you turn to the rule book you will find something that either you can’t quite understand or that contradicts something you thought you did know. This book therefore approaches the whole problem the other way round, starting from the real live situations that you’re liable to come across while racing. So rather than looking for a rule which might apply to the situation in question, you can turn straight to that situation and read which rule applies, how it applies and why it applies. To make this possible, the situations are arranged here, not to the basic logic of the lYRU rule book, but to a logic based on your perception of situations as you meet them on the water.
