Rules of the Road (Sailing Virgins) - Ep.38

Understanding and abiding by the rules of the road will help you be more predictable to other boats & sailors on the water and avoid a collision.
----
At Sailing Virgins we aim to give tips that are succinct, to-the-point and entertaining. Ultimately, we want to make our students better at sailing than we are. That takes the ego out of the room and allows us to give our all.
----
Sailing Virgins is the world's #1 sailing school for millennials. We offer lessons, courses and classes in the Caribbean, Croatia, and Tahiti.

In this episode we go over some tips & tricks to help understand and implement these rules while sailing:

1. Hierarchy: 00:43
2. Obligations: 01:32
3. Stand on: 02:21
4. Give way: 02:38
5. Overtaking is always give way: 02:57
6. Under motor: traffic light system: 03:06
7. Under sail: starboard [tack] is stand-on: 03:51
8. On the same tack: downwind is stand-on: 04:24
