WITH DAVE PERRY & DAVE DELLENBAUGH 

9 am | ZOOM

New this season we’ll bring in BOTH Dave Perry & Dave Dellenbaugh to provide an in-depth look at how the 2021-2024 racing rules apply to tactical situations from start to finish. The Daves will go around the racecourse and examine dozens of common multi-boat situations. They'll explain how the racing rules apply to each with a focus on what's new in the 2021-2024 rulebook (which goes into effect on January 1, 2021).

The Daves will use videos, quizzes, animations, and frequent references to relevant appeals and cases. The course will be broken up into 4 sections; The Starting Line, Upwind Leg& Windward Mark, the Downwind Leg & Leeward Mark, and Other Rules that Come up around the Race Course.
