Take 9 minutes to learn the racing rules / Rich Hall Junior Regatta results

Do you or your child race at the EYC?

This handy animated guide explaining the basics of the racing rules of sailing should be viewed by every EYC racing sailor.

It’s only 9 minutes long.  Please take the time to view it (maybe even more than once).  And, require your junior racer to view it.

As more than one EYC sailor discovered last year, if you don’t know the racing rules, it can cost you — not just points in the final standings, but also the cost of repairing the other boat which you hit and damaged, if you were in the wrong.

(Although this animated guide refers to the 2009-2012 Racing Rules, the basics have not changed for 2013 and this guide is still up-to-date.)
