SYC has added a self-paced series of lessons introducing the ISF Racing Rules of Sailing. Now SL skippers can not only learn the Right of Way (ROW) rules in an easy to follow format at their own pace, they have an easy means to review a rule quickly.

Using the outline of US Sailing’s Rules Course, SYC provides the basics of each of the most important rules which is explained in a "slide" which can be clicked on to get a video of the rule from the U.S. Sailing web site. These videos are an excellent tool which will help skippers QUICKLY learn the rule in question.

Come to Starboards Yacht Club in HOLLYWOOD and begin your own self-directed education in the rules that will be used in Hollywood and elsewhere in SL to conduct exciting and fun sailboat racing.

OK OK, I realize that I am biased here. :) BUT these are REALLY very good! I encourage everyone to take a bit of time and review them. I certainly intend to spend some time with them.

Bump.

If pictures are worth a thousand words, here's a few thousand words.
