Patrick Rynne gives an excellent presentation using animation and video for an easy to understand breakdown the basics of the racing rules of sailing using DF65s from his fleet at the Miami RC Sailing Squadron.

Thanks... just bought a df65 and have no sailing experience. So this helpt me on the way to understand the rules.

Hi just got a Mini 12 Rc sailboat, here in Ottawa Canada. Been with the club here for two months and learning a lot from a great bunch of people. I watch your videos on rules and sailing skills. I’ve applied them to my abilities. Your videos are very helpful to me. Thanks

Great video. Just bought a DF65 for sailing at my local club, but not having sailed for 40+ years welcomed this very enlightening brief. I now feel less intimidated when entering the pond for the first time!

Been racing since '74. Most coherent and useful description we've seen.

Great video. You make the basic rules very clear. There are a few that need further clarification, though. At 15:15 a clear-astern boat establishes a leeward overlap and heads the windward boat up to head-to-wind. If this is before the start that is fine, but after the start Rule 17 limits the leeward boat to sailing her proper course. At 18:36 you say that Windward/Leeward (Rule 11) still applies in the Zone, but if the windward boat enters the Zone clear ahead then she has Mark Room (Rule 18), so Windward/Leeward does not apply. (This came up in one of our races last week.) I'm sure many sailors will benefit greatly from this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. (By the way, there were several situations in the drone footage that would have been useful to analyse with stop-motion.)

Hey Arlin...you are correct in a sense about the windward leeward/restriction after the start. A boat that establishes an overlap from clear astern is not permitted to sail above her proper course unless she tacks. Before the start, there is no “proper course”, thus there is no effective restriction. Note that the rule states you cannot go “above” your proper course, not that you must sail your proper course…it’s a subtle but important difference. As for Mark Room, yes Rule 11 still applies within the zone. If the windward boat enters the zone clear ahead, a trailing leeward boat is no entitled to sail between her and the mark. If she were to force her way in there, she would break Rule 18.2(b). BUT, if the trailing boat were to sail to leeward, she is still leeward and the windward boat is required to keep clear per 11. Rule 18 is a supplement to windward/leeward and port/starboard, it does not erase them. Another way to illustrate this is an upwind starboard mark rounding where both boats have to tack around the mark (common on a Digital N course in team racing). In the zone you can have an inside overlapped boat that is entitled to mark room but is also required to keep clear of the leeward boat. At the same time the outside leeward boat has right of way, but is required to provide adequate room per Rule 18. So the two rules exist simultaneously. Hope that helps!

Very well done--super informative. One thing I see a lot is barging at the start line and this may be covered in future. Look forward to seeing more--thanks.

Well explained. If you care to do a stop frame analysis of mark roundings, a few more complex examples would be really helpful. Very good point about the two perspectives, and about how easy it is to do a penalty turn when you think you may have made a mistake. As easy it is to think this through on a blackboard, the rounding happens much faster. Even estimating the size of the circle is difficult.

I really like what you said about keeping a positive vibe - theres a few DF65 videos where you can hear people more or less bellowing about some rule or right-of-way or infringement and I don't think I'd enjoy that - it's supposed to be good clean fun!

Excellent Job - your video is absolutely super !!!! How about a video that explains and illustrates the hailing call "starboard"?

@kenquigley4242 5 ай бұрын

The graphics really help understanding. In RC racing, when two boats are close to the wind, and the windward boat is overtaking leeward boat, when does the windward boat get the right of way? Mast a beam or clear of overlap?

@glidermike1 4 жыл бұрын

Rounding top nark, two boats entering zone on opposite tacks, what are permutation of the rules this situation? Great video, could not find link to the s/w you mentioned. Mike

The hardest thing is judging where the four boat distance is from the mark. Even when walking around the course. We don’t use the same course you used. Our club has more offset marks.
