This video shows the very basic rules for sailing and deals mainly with right of way between port and starboard points of sail. Be aware there are specific racing rules that may also apply. When you learn to sail you MUST understand the basic rules to avoid collisions.

X-99, X-Zoom doing good speed and then broaching. Shot during Karvalakki regatta in Helsinki on October 13, 2007.
The reason why I put this video up is because the kite on this X-99 reminded me of the big shouldered kite that we used to throw up on Cooking and surf waves on from the Bell Buoy, from Bird Island – good times hey Gavin, Russel, Darryl?
In fact our memorable Bird Island trip saw broach after broach as we came screaming back – I remember waking up clinging to the pushpit with water rushing over me, after one broach, looking waaaaay up at Gavin Stephens and asking him if he was okay. His quick nod was enough and I promptly went back to sleep ……………
