Anyone know of a good website where I can learn the rules of racing properly. It's so confusing to know when each rule applies and when other rules come into play. I guess like most sailors I know the basics but I am hoping to better my knowledge and exploit it on the race course.

You may find the ISAF Case Book helpful.

That is a great website! I found the exact situation we found our selves in last week. Of course we failed to ask for “Room to tack” and we failed to say “Protest” and the Protest Committee threw out our protest, correctly IMO! Thanks.
