The sport of match racing, with its exciting close quarters manoeuvring by two boats, is growing in popularity internationally, encouraged by the media and commercial sponsorship - the America's Cup being the highest profile match racing event. This book explains the new 1997-2000 match racing rules, which apply to match racing, highlights acceptable and unacceptable practices on the water during both the pre-start manoeuvres and the race itself, and explains the on-the-water penalties that are likely to be imposed on competitors infringing the rules. The book contains a range of tactical scenarios showing the various moves which the opponents can make as well as their relative merits in a wide range of situations. The authors also explain the likely reactions to certian manoeuvres by the on-the-water judges.
