Quick Reference Racing Rules

Summary: Basic Rules
Review: The Quick Reference Racing Rules is a summary of the racing rules, put on an extremely heavy duty laminated card. The picture shown by Amazon.com is half of what your are buying, which are the basic rules that most expereince sailors know. The flip side lists some racing definitions, when to hail, how to file a protest, when and how to do penalty turns, etc. This summary is probably most useful for the novice sailor; or the more experienced sailor who doesn't race often and wants a quick refresher. One advantage is the heavy duty construction means you can take it on your boat without fear of it getting wet. It also lists the rule numbers that all race committee members seem to have memorized. This is the only quick reference that I've every seen published. Note that this 4th edition is for the 1997-2000 rules, which have changed slightly.
