This book introduces you to the highly stimulating and challenging sport of radio controlled model yacht racing. The sport uses the same set of rules, with minor amendments, as full-sized yacht racing and these are fully explained together with the tactics employed on an Olympic type of racing course. These tactics are demonstrated by following through a simulated race, clearly illustrated by drawings, showing you how to gain and defend positions and use the rules to your best advantage. The appendices are packed with useful information - publications, addresses of relevant associations, sailing instructions, Protest Committee procedures - and also includes Appendix 16 of the IYRU International Yacht Racing Rules in full.
