How's your rules knowledge?

Published 22:38 on 29 Mar 2022

There have been a couple of protests recently which is actually a good thing as it challenges all as to what the rules are, how they apply, and whether your interpretation is correct. So what about the SailGP race at the weekend - who do you think was in the wrong?

If you haven't seen it then the races are on Youtube - well worth a watch... SailGP San Francisco

Closer to home though, if you are starting out racing or just wish to know more then a great and relatively cheap resource is: 'The Rules in Practice 2021 - 2024 by Bryan Willis - Fenhurst books' This also includes the racing rules of sailing in full so you have all you need to interpret those boat on boat calls on the race course.
