 JUST
RELEASED!
THE UPDATED FOR 2005-2008 RULES QUIZ CD
UK Sailmakers is pleased
to announce that we have updated and greatly improved
the Real Time Racing Rules Quiz CD. Along with the new
rules, the CD is packed with more quizzes, sound effects,
exciting video clips, all the appendices, the appeals,
and a protest form you can print out when needed. We
even provide a tool to update your CD as soon as new
quizzes are posted to the UK web site.
The quizzes help you
learn the rules because you look at situations the way
a protest committee does. The difference is that instead
of hearing two different stories about a situation,
you watch an animated movie.  After
you analyze the movie you can read the “Facts Found”
followed by the “Conclusions and Rules That Apply”.
In the answers, each rule is hot linked so that you
can call up the rule mentioned with a click of the mouse.
The animations can be enlarged to full screen for easy
viewing, or you can choose to view the animation along
with the answer to the quiz and the text of any rule
you have a question about – all on one screen, no page
flipping. Truly the easiest way to learn the rules!
For those who own a previous
version of the CD, the upgrade price is $25 plus $3
shipping to the USA and Canada, or $5 to all other countries.
For first-time buyers, the price is $45 with the same
shipping rates as above. Proof of purchase is necessary
to receive the upgrade price.
BUNDLE DEAL: THE BEST BOOK ABOUT THE RULES AND THE UK
RULES QUIZ CD FOR ONE LOW PRICE

AT HOBIE 33 MIDWINTERS |
 TAMPA,
FL -- With 7 firsts and a second, Mauri Pro Sailing
won the Hobie 33 Class and Hobie 33 Midwinter’s at the
St. Petersburg NOOD regatta. MAURI PRO’s speed had a
lot to do with her UK main and No. 1 genoa. “From
the day before the regatta we found out how fast the
boat was against the other Hobies,” said owner Erminio
Di Lodovico. “We pointed higher than anybody else and
the sails looked fantastic. Also, with our Matrix
spinnaker, we sailed faster down wind. I was very impressed
with the boat’s dominant performance.” Seven other boats
in the fleet got a lesson in speed from MAURI PRO SAILING.
Another Texas boat, the
Olson 30 Wild Rover sailing with three-year-old Tape-Drive
sails finished second in her six-boat one-design class.
Skipper Mike McGagh said, “Our sails are still in pretty
good shape and we sailed very fast. We raced with the
Hobie 33s and we could see how fast MAURI PRO was with
her brand new s.” |
