Excerpt from Handbook on American Yacht Racing Rules: An Explanation of Their Meaning and Application
The object of this work is to guide the beginner and aid others to an understanding of the underlying principles of the yacht racing rules, and to explain, as clearly as possible, their interpretations, as accepted by helmsmen of experience.
The Rules of the International Yacht Racing Union, while substantially the same as those in use in the United States, differ in some particulars. When no difference exists between the American and the International Rules, it has been found advisable to accept the interpretations of the Council of the Y. R. A. of Great Britain.
The Authors have confined themselves to an interpretation of the rules as at present in existence, and have refrained from any expression of opinion on the excellence of the rules as they stand.
As it is perfectly well understood, that all Race Committees are omniscient, hydra-headed, and, therefore, all-seeing, and that all yachtsmen, at the end of their first season's racing, are thoroughly conversant with the intricacies of the Racing Rules, it may well be asked why this book was written.
