Racing Rules Discussion:
Recently Joe Tidwell suggested that "all of us getting together and having a 'rules sail' would be great . . . if we can get the rest to join it would help a great deal." Joe's suggestion followed similar recommendations by Bob Smith and Ron Thornhill.
Because of the rising level of interest among our members to learn and abide by the rules, which will make us all more effectively competitive while building greater harmony during the racing and increase our enjoyment of our hobby/sport, Shoe set up a discussion page you can access below.
