2001-2004 The Rules in Practice, Bryan Willis Paperback,6 ¾ x 9 ½, 111 pp. It’s a popular fallacy among racing sailors that you need to know the rules. You do need to know your right and obligations on the water – but the rules can always be looked up afterwards. The Rules in practice looks at the key situations that repeatedly occur on race courses, form the viewpoint of each helmsman in turn, and summarizes what each may, must, or cannot do. Armed with this information you will have the confidence to exploit your rights to the full, both on the water and in the protest room.
