In the forum for Juanas Regatta there was some discussion about the rules of racing. As a newbie to racing, I thought this video might help others. If other experienced racers would like to offer some advice about strategy on the start and how to race, I think that could be very helpful. Thanks, Joe

Nice simple video. The courses you'll see in beachcat races are a little different (usually no B mark) and we generaly don't race dead down wind from A to C but in general good info.

More detail here from US Sailing.

Not to be picky but that is the 2012 version. Most of the rules are similar but some have changed. Is there a 2012 to15 version? HTH, R

Some-times I play this quiz to keep me awake, don't do a lot
of racing, so a evening or 2 before race-weekend helps me.

Don't know if the rules are 2014.

Boy did I ever find that out last weekend! By the end of the racing unfortunately... Got a tip from a fellow racer yelled to me as I was crossing the finish line. "Hey Ron! These cats don't like to go straight downwind!"

(Go figure...)
