"Any damn fool can navigate the world sober. It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk." - Sir Francis Chichester when asked why he carried so much alcohol on his solo sail around the world.

THE RACING RULES MADE EASY

Awesome job Allen Brothers Blocks for putting together this phenomenal poster,  explaining the majority of the Rules without the confusion of a bunch of poorly written words.  My suggestion: Print out two of them at least 24″ long and have one printed on waterproof paper: One for your office and one for the race boat’s cabin.
