What should you NEVER DO on the Race Course? (Hint, there are only about 5 key things) 4.) What was Your most Embarrassing Rules Violations in Sailing? 5.) What Rule do you understand the Least?

108 The 10 Basic Racing Rules 1. Port/Starboard When boats are on opposite tacks meet the port tack boat must keep clear. Recommended that the Starboard Skipper assert his right of way by calling starboard 2. Windward/Leeward When boats are on the same tack, 2 Rules apply: Windward boats keep clear Overtaking boats keep clear 3. Changing Tack. While you are tacking you must keep clear of other boats not doing so and you must give the other boat room and opportunity to react. 4. Avoid Collisions with other boats that cause injury or damage. And hitting another boat is SLOW! 5. Buoy Room. When you round or pass a mark other than a starting mark you must give an inside overlapped boat room to round the mark. 6. Barging The buoy room rule does not apply on the starting line. Don t luff pass head to wind on the starting line. 7. Over Early. Don t be over the start line before the starting signal. 8. You can defend against an overtaking boat passing to windward by luffing your boat. 9. Don t touch the marks. 10. If you infringe a rule take a penalty. For Some penalties one or two full turns clears your foul. If you do not you can be protested and disqualified in a formal protest committee. 11. No Yelling, make sure everyone is having fun aboard.
