The Rules in Practice Reviews

'If you're a keen sailor, then this book is a must.' (Coast, March 2013). 'This is an excellent book, ideal for all sailors who race, or are thinking of racing. Dinghy racers will want to keep a copy in their kit bags. Yachties should have the book out on the chart table ready. And I would recommend every club to put one in the race hut and encourage the race officers to read it before they even think about setting the course.' (Little Ship Club).
