Synopsis

This book introduces you to the highly stimulating and challenging sport of radio controlled model yacht racing. The sport uses the same set of rules, with minor amendments, as full-sized yacht racing and these are fully explained together with the tactics employed on an Olympic type of racing course. These tactics are demonstrated by following through a simulated race, clearly illustrated by drawings, showing you how to gain and defend positions and use the rules to your best advantage. The appendices are packed with useful information - publications, addresses of relevant associations, sailing instructions, Protest Committee procedures - and also includes Appendix 16 of the IYRU International Yacht Racing Rules in full.
