AMENDMENTS TO THE 2009-2012 RACING RULES OF SAILING
November 30, 2009
The International Sailing Federation (ISAF) announced that, as a result of
actions taken by the ISAF Racing Rules Committee and the ISAF Council during
the ISAF Annual Conference, several changes in The Racing Rules of Sailing for
2009-2012 will take effect on 1 January 2010. The changes apply to:
- Rule 18.2(c) will be changed due to an unintended consequence of the current
wording of this rule.- The definition Obstruction will be changed so that a boat racing will no
longer be an obstruction to other boats that are required to give her room or
mark-room.- Additions will be made to the definition Party to correct unintended
omissions.- A new rule, rule C2.12, will be added to the Match Racing Rules.
After the 2009 rulebook was printed, ISAF revised its Advertising Code and, in
so doing, eliminated all references to Category A advertising. References to
the Advertising Code in Appendices J, K and L will be changed to make them
consistent with the revised Code. –

Heading Offshore
November 15, 2009
This week I am delivering the J122 Teamwork from Beaufort, NC to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Last year’s delivery produced a great video and I imagine this year’s will too. With an amazing meteor shower predicted as well as a fairly stunning forecast I think this going to be a great trip.
Here is an image of where we’ll be going (and where we went last year.) Follow the green pins for this year’s trip.
