  4. PART 1: FUNDAMENTAL RULES • 1 SAFETY • 2 FAIR SAILING • ACCEPTANCE OF THE RULES • DECISION TO RACE • ANTI-DOPING

  5. PART 1: FUNDAMENTAL RULES 1 SAFETY 1.1 Helping Those in Danger A boat or competitor shall give all possible help to any person or vessel in danger. 1.2 Life-Saving Equipment and Personal Flotation Devices A boat shall carry adequate life-saving equipment for all persons on board, including one item ready for immediate use, unless her class rules make some other provision. Each competitor is individually responsible for wearing a personal flotation device adequate for the conditions. What safety equipment do you have for your boat?

  6. Sheeting point Max 10 cm

  7. PART 1: FUNDAMENTAL RULES 2 FAIR SAILING A boat and her owner shall compete in compliance with recognized principles of sportsmanship and fair play. A boat may be penalized under this rule only if it is clearly established that these principles have been violated. A disqualification under this rule shall not be excluded from the boat’s series score. Examples?

  8. PART 1: FUNDAMENTAL RULES 3 ACCEPTANCE OF THE RULES By participating in a race conducted under these racing rules, each competitor and boat owner agrees (a) to be governed by the rules; (b) to accept the penalties imposed and other action taken under the rules, subject to the appeal and review procedures provided in them, as the final determination of any matter arising under the rules; and (c) with respect to any such determination, not to resort to any court of law or tribunal. Examples?

  9. PART 1: FUNDAMENTAL RULES 4 DECISION TO RACE The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone. Examples?

  10. PART 1: FUNDAMENTAL RULES 5 ANTI-DOPING A competitor shall comply with the World Anti-Doping Code, the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency, and ISAF Regulation 21, Anti-Doping Code. An alleged or actual breach of this rule shall be dealt with under Regulation 21. It shall not be grounds for a protest and rule 63.1 does not apply. Examples?

  11. PART 2: WHEN BOATS MEET The rules of Part 2 apply between boats that are sailing in or near the racing area and intend to race, are racing, or have been racing.. However, a boat not racing shall not be penalized for breaking one of these rules, except rule 23.1. When a boat sailing under these rules meets a vessel that is not, she shall comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS) or government right-of-way rules. If the sailing instructions so state, the rules of Part 2 are replaced by the right right-of-way rules of the IRPCAS or by government right-of-way rules. SECTION A RIGHT OF WAY A boat has right of way when another boat is required to keep clear of her. However, some rules in Sections B, C and D limit the actions of a right-of-way boat.

  12. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shallkeep clear of aleeward boat. 12 ON THE SAME TACK, NOT OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and not overlapped, a boat clear astern shall keep clear of a boat clear ahead. 13 WHILE TACKING After a boat passes head to wind, she shall keep clear of other boats until she is on a close-hauled course. During that time rules 10, 11 and 12 do not apply. If two boats are subject to this rule at thesame time, the one on the other’s port side or the one astern shall keep clear. Some examples?

  13. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. Wind Starboard! One on port tack and one on starboard tack If Brown tacks, she must not disturb other boats (Rule 13)

  14. It is quite OK to tack so you let the other boat get your dirty wind

  15. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. Wind If you chose to duck the other boat, don’t forget to … ?

  16. Release the sheet, or you may hit her !

  17. Sheet in for close-hauled again afterwards!

  18. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. Wind Which boat shall ”keep clear” ? One boat on port tack and one boat on starboard tack

  19. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of aleeward boat. Clear Astern and Clear Ahead; Overlap One boat is clear astern of another when her hull and equipment in normal position are behind a line abeam from the aftermost point of the other boat’s hull and equipment in normal position. The other boat is clear ahead. They overlap when neither is clear astern. However, they also overlap when a boat between them overlaps both. These terms always apply to boats on the same tack. They do not apply to boats on opposite tacks unless rule 18 applies or both boats are sailing more than ninety degrees from the true wind .

  20. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of aleeward boat. Wind Starboard tack and starboard tack + overlap

  21. 12 ON THE SAME TACK, NOT OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and not overlapped, a boat clear astern shallkeep clear of a boatclear ahead. Wind Starboard tack and starboard tack, but no overlap

  22. Hero keeps clear Regel 11 (overlappet samme halser, lo / le) They keep clear Wind Rule # Hero Virtual Skipper Online 140.000 registered users Very good winter training !!! Strategy, rules and tactics Study replays for debriefing www.virtualskipper-game.com/vsk5/ Zone: Rule 18 soon activated

  23. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of aleeward boat. Wind Wind Which one is the windward boat that shall keep clear ? (Imagine that the wind blows a little more from the ”correct side” of the sail.) Port tackand port tack, overlapped

  24. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. Wind One boat on port tack and one boat on starboard tack

  25. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of aleeward boat. Wind Wind Which one is the windward boat that shall keep clear ? (Imagine that the wind a little more from the ”correct side” of the sail.) Starboard tackand starboard tack, overlapped

  26. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of aleeward boat. Wind Starboard tack and starboard tack + overlap* *) Remember: They overlapwhen neither is clear astern.

  27. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. Wind Starboard tack and port tack

  28. 11 ON THE SAME TACK, OVERLAPPED When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of aleeward boat. Wind Port tack and port tack + overlap* *) Remember: They overlapwhen neither is clear astern.

  29. 10 ON OPPOSITE TACKS When boats are on oppositetacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat. Wind Port tack and starboard tack

  30. Animation rule 13 Wind

  31. 13 WHILE TACKING After a boat passes head to wind, she shall keep clear of other boats until she is on a close-hauled course. During that time rules 10, 11 and 12 do not apply. If two boats are subject to this rule at thesame time, the one on the other’s port side or the one astern shall keep clear. Protest ! Some rules in the rule book are more ‘important’ than other rules and may override them. Rule 13 sets aside rule 10 here! One boat on port tack and one boat starboard tack, but …

  32. SECTION B GENERAL LIMITATIONS 14 AVOIDING CONTACT A boat shallavoid contact with another boat if reasonably possible. However, a right-of-way boat or one entitled to room or mark-room (a) need not act to avoid contact until it is clear that the other boat is not keeping clear or giving room or mark-room, and (b) shall not be penalized under this rule unless there is contact that causes damage or injury. 15 ACQUIRING RIGHT OF WAY When a boat acquires right of way, she shall initially give the other boat room to keep clear, unless she acquires right of way because of the other boat’s actions. Some examples:

  33. Animation rule 15

  34. 15 ACQUIRING RIGHT OF WAY When a boat acquires right of way, she shall initially give the other boat room to keep clear, unless she acquires right of way because of the other boat’s actions. Protest ! One port-tack and one starboard-tack boat. The tack is completed (boat is close-hauled). Rule 13 is not broken, but … RoomThe space a boat needs in the existing conditions while manoeuvring promptly in a seamanlike way. Approximately: How much room does she need to keep clear here ?

  35. 16 CHANGING COURSE 16.1 When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other boat room to keep clear. 16.2 In addition, when after the starting signal a port-tack boat is keeping clear by sailing to pass astern of a starboard-tack boat, the starboard- tack boat shall not change course if as a result the port-tack boat would immediately need to change course to continue keeping clear 17 ON THE SAME TACK; PROPER COURSE If a boat clear astern becomes overlapped within two of her hull lengths to leeward of a boat on the same tack, she shall not sail above her proper course while they remain on the same tack and over- lapped within that distance, unless in doing so she promptly sails astern of the other boat. This rule does not apply if the overlap begins while the windward boat is required by rule 13 to keep clear. Some examples:

  36. Animation rule 16.1 Wind OK, Grey keeps clear. Starboard tack and starboard tack + overlap

  37. Oops, is Grey able to keep clear that quickly?

  38. 16 CHANGING COURSE 16.1 When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other boat room to keep clear. Protest ! Contact! (At least one of the boats has broken a rule!)

  39. Animation rule 16.1 Wind Wind Grey is sick of keeping clear. He wants to gybe to starboard tack. Overlapped, port tackand port tack

  40. Wind

  41. One on port tack and one on starboard tack, but …

  42. 16 CHANGING COURSE 16.1 When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other boat room to keep clear. Protest ! What should Grey have done to avoid this incident?

  43. Animation (Soon rule 17) Wind Port tack and port tack, no overlap Can Grey gybe and sail to the mark? (Very risky because of rule 16.1)

  44. Wind Port tack and port tack + overlap (established from clear astern and to leeward within two of her hull lengths)

  45. Hmm, is Orange now sailing proper course to the mark ? Wind

  46. 17 ON THE SAME TACK; PROPER COURSE If a boat clear astern becomes overlapped within two of her hull lengths to leeward of a boat on the same tack, she shall not sail above her proper coursewhile they remain on the same tack and over- lapped within that distance, unless in doing so she promptly sails astern of the other boat. This rule does not apply if the overlap begins while the windward boat is required by rule 13 to keep clear. Protest ! Proper course A course a boat would sail to finish as soon as possible in the absence of the other boats referred to in the rule using the term. A boat has no proper course before her starting signal.

  47. Sikkerhetsdetaljer for optimistseilere What tack is Linn on? What tack is Niels on? Is Niels in the zone of the windward mark? How big is the zone? Zone The area around a mark within a distance of three hull lengths of the boat nearer to it. A boat is in the zone when any part of her hull is in the zone.
