Paul Elvstrom Explains the Racing Rules of Sailing has accompanied sailors to regattas since 1965. This new edition of the book–known to all simply as Elvstrom and famous for its plastic boats and wind arrows–incorporates the complete text of the International Sailing Federation’s (ISAF) 2004 rules changes. It features color-coded explanations and interpretations of the rules with the help of two-color bird’s-eyeview drawings. It also offers a full-color chart of race signals, a graphic quick-reference locator for the rules, a summary of recent rules changes, and procedural notes for filing a protest.
