An email was sent to members noting significant rules discussed at The GFS rules night held on October 15. The session was presented by national sailing judge Erica Kirby, who is also a member of Balmain Sailing Club.
The aim was to clarify the rules arising from perennial questions such as Mark Room, Continuous Obstructions and Start/Finish line.
A lot of time was spent on the scenario in which a row of slower boats is ahead of faster boats in a narrow stretch of water such as Humbug.
