Reseña del editor:

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 yacht 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 main part of the book is packed with 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. As such it is likely to become an indispensable manual both on and off the water for competitors and umpires alike. Bryan Willis was umpire and member of the International Jury for the 1992 America's Cup and John Doerr was the Match Racing Rules Advisor to the New Zealand team at the 1992 America's Cup.
