Paul Elvstrom Explains the Racing Rules of Sailing: 1997-2000 Rules

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 1996. These rules changes are the most far-sweeping in 20-30 years.
