The complex international rules governing the sport of sailboat racing are updated every four years after the Olympics. This edition of what is perhaps the foremost rules interpretation book in the world--known to all simply as "Elvstrom" and famous for its plastic boats and wind arrows--incorporates rules changes promulgated in December 2000. The first section of the book gives the complete text of the 2001 - 2004 rules as published by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). (Not every rules interpretation book includes the full text of the rules). 
The second section--color-coded to mesh with the first--explains and interprets the rules with the help of two-color bird's-eye view drawings. 
The third and final section summarizes the "case law"--the ISAF rulings on appeals. The book also offers a full-color chart of race signals, a graphic quick-reference locator for the rules, a summary of recent rule changes, and procedural notes for filing a protest. 
With its compact size, heavy vinyl jacket, and plastic sailboats and wind arrows for recreating race-course situations in a post-race hearing room, Paul Elvstrom Explains the Racing Rules of Sailing has been accompanying sailors to regattas since the 1950s.
