The Cavalier 28 is a yacht that is ideal for both racing and social and recreational sailing. It was designed in New Zealand by Laurie Davidson,
a designer famous for racing boats (including successful defenders and
challengers for the America’s Cup), and now has an active owners’
association based in Sydney Harbour. See the history page for more information.
The racing rules of sailing are now available on-line. Here is a link to the updated rules for 2013.
The current Speed & Smarts newsletter from David Dellenbaugh
includes a great quiz on the rules - including the latest updates.
