Elvstrom Explains the Racing Rules

Paul Elvstrøm is arguably the greatest Olympic sailor of all time. Proving that understanding the rules is crucial to winning, he devised this unique approach to explaining them using bird’s-eye diagrams. His detailed explanations are applied to myriad racing situations, each cross-referenced to relevant case studies provided by World Sailing (formerly ISAF).

Included with the book are a set of plastic boats, for use during protest hearings. They are transparent but coloured differently so can also be used with an overhead projector.

This edition is completely revised to cover the new rules issued for 2025-28. It includes the full text of the latest rules, with a handy quick-reference guide highlighting the latest changes. There is also a confidence-building section on how to present your case in a protest, and the back cover shows the signal flags for instant easy reference on the race course.

Long established as the most accessible and most trusted guide to the racing rules, Elvstrøm Explains is a must-have. Whether racing in a dinghy, keelboat or large yacht, it is the perfect pocket reference for those who want to win.

NEWS FROM IMRAY

For more than two centuries, Imray has been a trusted name among mariners and sailing enthusiasts. Today, we announce the gradual conclusion of our chart publishing operations, marking the end of an era.

This decision, not taken lightly, reflects the growing shift toward digital nautical navigation.

Imray will continue to serve the maritime community via our renowned pilot books, cruising guides, and the popular ‘Explore with Imray’ digital product. These resources will remain a cornerstone for sailors and adventurers, offering reliable, verified information for both coastal and offshore navigation.

Chart production and support, including Imray Notices to Mariners, will continue through the 2025 season. Beyond that, no new editions will be published.

This lead time provides a valuable opportunity for leisure and coded vessels to secure Imray’s high-quality paper charts whilst stocks are available. As one of only two chart providers recognised by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Imray charts are tailored to leisure sailors, and offer an excellent alternative to official government charts, especially in light of price increases for those charts scheduled for January 2025.
