Rules Articles (Archive)
These are links to articles that I wrote and were published either in "The Kwasind" by The Royal Canadian Yacht Club under the banner "Know Your Rules". The were written prior to January 2021 so used an older version of the Racing Rules of Sailing (2017-2020 or 2013-2016). They have not been checked or updated to reflect the current rules. I have been publishing in The Kwasind since 1997. This listing will help you find articles on the RCYC website
