Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1986

Quick Reference cards provide accurate, concise boating information when and where you need it most.

* They are great for all types of boaters from weekend day sailors to offshore cruisers and professional mariners.

* Printed in full color on weatherproof high strength plastic, 8.5" x 11" three-hole cards are impervious to conditions at sea which quickly destroy laminated paper references.

* The Quick Reference Racing Rules is an easy-to-understand guide with clear illustrations and definitions to the most important racing rules. The 4th edition is good through the year 2000. Edited by well-known racer and consultant David Dellenbaugh, author of Speed and Smarts, for content and accuracy. It features an interactive waterproof "race notes" section that can be written on and erased in pencil. Also includes racing signal flags and numerical pennants for quick recognition of race committee signals.

This review is from: Quick Reference Racing Rules (Ring-bound)

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.
