Racing Rules of Sailing

The racing rules of sailing are used all the time while you sail and race the IDRA 14 or any boat for that matter. With that in mind it's important to be familiar with them.  If you're new to sailing part 2, when boats meet, of the rules is a must read. If youre not new it's good to brush up on the rules now and then. Remember they change every 4 years with each new Olympic cycle.
