Uncle
Al’s On-Line Rules Quiz for the year 2005! |
.....
|
This
is a new, expanded version of the quiz which appeared in the Whiffle
in 1997. It will be sub-divided according to where – in a typical buoys
to port race – these hypothetical situations might arise. Assume that
fouls caused no damage unless otherwise stated. You can click on any
cell in the table below to pick a part of the race you’d like to work
with. Each situation will have its own page plus a parallel page that
contains my answer. Your disagreements are welcomed! What
Rules apply? If there are any situations which you have run into or by which you are just simply puzzled, don't hesitate to send them to me, and I will add them to this quiz. Special thanks to Dave Dellenbaugh, Speed & Smarts editor, who kindly gave me permission to scan some of his artwork, e.g. the drawings of the boats on the various points of sail, for use in illustrating the various cases I've come up with. April 2005 update for the RRS 2005 through 2008: I have gone through all my Rules Quiz cases and updated anything that needed changing. If you find any cases that, in your opinion, still need correcting, please let me know. Regards, Uncle Al |
