Uncle
Al’s On-Line Rules Quiz for the year 2013 |
| This
is a new, expanded version of the quiz which appeared in 1997 in the Canadian
Wayfarer Association news, the Whiffle . It will be sub-divided
according to where – on a typical buoys
to port triangular course – these hypothetical situations might arise.
Assume that
fouls caused no damage unless otherwise stated. You can click on any
cell in the table below to pick a part of the race you’d like to work
with. Each situation will have its own page plus a parallel page that
contains my answer. Your disagreements are welcomed! Pretend you are the protest committee and decide the following for each situation: What Rules apply? Who – if anyone - is in the right in each of the situations? If there are any situations which you have run into or by which you are just simply puzzled, don't hesitate to send them to me, and I will add them to this quiz. Special thanks to Dave Dellenbaugh, Speed & Smarts editor, who kindly gave me permission to scan some of his artwork, e.g. the drawings of the boats on the various points of sail, for use in illustrating the various cases I've come up with. Update for the RRS 2013 through 2016: All the cases below are now updated for the new RRS. If you find anything that, in your opinion, still needs correcting, please let me know. Regards, Uncle Al |
