This app seems good, we used it last weekend for a Rules and Tactics seminar (iPad to a video projector): http://www.you-tack.com/youTackPRO.html
"Clinical tests have shown that one of the best treatments for insomnia is simply reading the Racing Rules of Sailing - they are so boring that most people go right to sleep. However, if you want to race sailboats, you simply must understand the rules, and more importantly - how they apply on the racecourse. You-Tack Pro, The Racing Sailor's Illustrated Guide, is a new iPhone/iPod app that truly helps to make the rules understandable, and to make the learning process fun. It has 42 illustrated situations that will open your eyes about things that happen regularly on the race course. When I say illustrated, I mean with both diagrams and video. Plus, there's a quiz about each of those situations that quickly (and sometimes painfully) lets you know if you really understand what's going on. And when you get the quiz answers, there is always a convenient link to the applicable rules. Nice. The app also includes the complete rule book including the appendices, definitions and signals. At $19.95 it is a very easy and fun way to improve your rules knowledge … and to quickly get into your comfort zone as you prepare to go into the room." And for those who still use an actual laptop or desktop computer in their home like I do (or at work), this one is simple but fun (and free): http://game.finckh.net/indexe.htm Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin S/V Salazar - Can 54955 C&C 37/40 XL - Hull # 67 Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia On 12 April 2013 19:42, Alan Bergen <alan-at-h...@comcast.net> wrote: > For those of you who want the racing rules at your fingertips, there are > apps for the iphone and ipad available from US Sailing at > store.ussailing.org.
