The complex international rules governing the sport of sailboat racing are updated every four years after the Olympics. This edition of what is perhaps the foremost rules interpretation book in the world-known to all simply as ``Elvstrom'' and famous for its plastic boats and wind arrows--incorporates rules changes promulgated in December 1996. These rules changes are the most far-sweeping in 20-30 years.

The popular texts would have us navigate our small boats using the same techniques found on an aircraft carrier. But these elaborately precise methods just don't work in the bouncy, wet, cramped cockpit of a typical pleasure craft. This is the first book to teach small-boat navigation the way most people actually navigate, combining electronic aids like radar, GPS, and Loran with commonsense visual piloting and seat-of-the-pants chartwork. It explains in plain, simple language exactly how to find where you are and get where you want to go with a minimum of fuss, and contains many useful but relatively unpublicized methods specifically designed for use aboard the nation's 20 million small power- and sailboats.
