Test your racing knowledge with an online racing quiz
UK-Halsey sailmakers have a great animated series of quizes for you to test out your sail boat racing knowledge. This series of animated online quizzes is an easy way to learn the rules of racing.
The quizzes are based on common situations when sailboats come together on the race course. The questions are not about obscure, hard to repeat, situations; they present incidents that happen again and again on the race course. Since most of the quizzes have several related questions, the library of quizzes offers a lot of sail boat racing lessons.
The use of animation in the quizzes allows viewers to get a much better understanding of the rule in question. The animations can be stopped and started and played over as many times as necessary for the viewer to come to their own conclusion before checking the answer. Viewers watch the boats move; spinnakers go up and come down; sails luff and are trimmed as well as move from side to side as the boats go around the racing marks.
All the quizzes are free, but to see them viewers must create a login with the UK-Halsey site; some contact information is required when creating a login. UK-Halsey makes sails for sailboats and has over 50 locations around the world.
