November 2015 - Three Port-Tack Boats And One Starboard-Tack Boat

Posted: 11/1/2015 12:44:21 PM by Andrew Alberti

This month I am going to answer another question I received by email. This situation happened in two different Optimist regattas this summer. Each time, one of the boats involved was part of the RCYC team.

KNOW YOUR RULES

This page provides links to a set of articles original published in Kwasind magazine. The versions here include animated diagrams. The original articles can be found within the original magazines which are available online back to January 2007.

Articles before December 2020 are based on the Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-12 or 2013-2016 or 2017-2020 and have not been updated to reflect the changes that apply as of January 2021 with the publication of the Racing Rules of Sailing 2021-24. A copy of the new rules can be found on sailing.org.
