Racing rules of sailing

18.4 Gybing. When an inside overlapped right-of-way boat must gybe at a mark to sail her proper course, until she gybes she shall sail no farther from the mark than needed to sail that course. Rule 18.4 does not apply at a gate mark.

Safety tip of the day

When lifting someone into a liferaft who is wearing a life jacket, 'bounce' them into the water twice to generate lift to help pull them aboard.
