On Thursday, February 20th, I joined a number of local college and high school sailors, and local boat owners in a classroom at Northwestern University for a rules seminar hosted by Dave Perry, author of Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing. The seminar was sponsored by Hedlund Marine and Laser Performance, and focused specifically on changes to 2009-2012 Racing Rules of Sailing.
Sailors of all levels listened intently as Perry covered each of the significant changes in detail, answering questions and clarifying points along the way. After the lesson section of the seminar, Perry opened the floor up to more general questions about situations that may occur on the racecourse and how the new rules might affect their outcome in coming years. Perry brought a high-energy attitude to a subject that most might consider dull at best, and had the entire audience, certainly myself included, eager to get back out on the racecourse as soon as possible.
