Play fair and by the rules (no shouting and insults) very strict on this one
We recommend that you become familiar with the racing rules of sailing and read the detailed rules by the ISAF Racing rules 2009-2012. Most rules do apply and are common to all sailing boat racing but you will also find specific rules adapted to RC boats.
Rules are rules we all know them to various depth but they do exist to ensure fairness and sportive attitude. The winner is the one who will have made the most of sailing conditions with a performing boat using his/her skills and knowledge of sailing at his/her advantage.
