Learning the Rules – Start simple 

Learning the rules is quite a challenge – so try to master these five basic principles- they cover about 95% of all racing incidents: 

     - Port keeps clear of starboard,

     - Windward keeps clear of leeward,

     - Astern keeps clear of ahead,

     - Only tack if you are clear,

     - Give room to inside boats at marks,  and when in doubt, stay clear – BUT ASK AFTERWARDS to        find out which rule would apply so you may learn for the ‘next time’.
