Boat racing is fun, and here's a guide that describes ways to improve
the driver's safety and increase the enjoyment. Aimed primarily at the
novice driver, it may also be considered a refresher for the more
experienced driver. A legacy of numerous driver's experinces have been
boiled down to simple do's and don'ts. This guide draws attention to the
"decision chain," which affects the probability of a racing incident
occurring, and emphasizes that attention to these decisions early on
tends to minimize the risks later. Fundamental information includes
facts about personal equipment, the cockpit environment, defensive
driving, the anti-doping policy, and other topics. A concerted,
consistent practice of adhering to these suggestions not only lowers the
risk of injury but also improves performance.
