Learning the rules

For those skippers who may need to brush up on the rules, the web sites below are full of excellent animated rule situations that are fun to explore:

Dave Dellenbauch's news letter and book information on rules can be located at <font color="blue">http://www.speedandsmarts.com/</font id="blue">

The ISAF site: <font color="blue">http://www.sailing.org/default.asp?MenuID=t62wGX28zoMoD~`RtK/DVn19A_h90KAM,S`l`FhHqDPicu~`zD3v4Ieebmcj,Xek7Act02</font id="blue"> gives limited interpretations of some rule technicalities. (cut and paste this one to get it right)

US Sailing also offers a "call book" with interpretations of the rules in a downloadable PDF file at <font color="blue">http://www.sailing.org/rrs2005/casebook2005.pdf</font id="blue">

Keep yourself out of the protest hearings by knowing both your rights as well as your obligations under the RRS
