2025-2028 Racing Rules! 

Hi! As you may know, a new quadrennial set of racing rules will go into effect worldwide on January 1! Because the new rulebook includes a number of substantial changes, Dave Dellenbaugh is devoting an entire webinar series to explain the 2025-2028 Racing Rules of Sailing in depth. I hope you'll join other KSC/HRMM folks in attending Dave's webinar. 

The new rulebook will include changes to the rules about mark-room, obstructions, contact, barging, proper course, tacking in the zone, and hailing for room to tack, plus a major reorganization of protest procedures. So this webinar will be an invaluable resource whenever you go racing in 2025 (and beyond).

Parts 1 and 2 of this webinar series will explain significant changes in the new rulebook and how these will affect your rights, obligations and tactics around the race course. Part 3 will be full of educational quizzes about the new (and old) rules in various scenarios, and Part 4 will give in-depth answers to participant questions asked before and during the webinar.

The webinar begins Monday, November 18 at 8:00 pm US Eastern time (GMT -5) and continues on the following three Mondays. Each session is 90+ minutes and includes videos, diagrams, animations, and quizzes. Content is geared toward racing skippers and crews with intermediate or advanced rules knowledge, and participant questions are welcome throughout!

The cost is $40 for the Series for HRMM/KSC folks ($55 for the general public; $60 for the general public after Nov. 1)   The webinar includes:

 A) links to join the four live sessions;
B) a link to all the webinar Quizzes and Q&As; and 
C) unlimited access to the Full Replays of all four sessions (in case you miss any or would like to review them at any time in the future). 

Even if you don't plan on racing in early 2025, you will be able to view this series (plus all the quizzes and Q&As!) as a refresher any time during the next four years. 

Thanks, and I hope to 'see' you there! – Dave Dellenbaugh
