UK-Halsey Rules Quiz |
|
|
| |
The UK-Halsey Rules Quiz program is a download (not a physical CD), which allows UK-Halsey to update the program often and allows users to receive the program without waiting for the mail to arrive. Updates will include new quizzes as they are developed, along with a library of exclusive material to help racing sailors called “The Lifted Tack,” which contains instructional and entertaining videos, commentary on the rules and tools to make you a better racer.
Once you complete your order via our secure online store, you will receive an e-mail within 24 hours with a link to download the program.
The animated format of the UK-Halsey rules quizzes is much easier to learn from than printed diagrams with arrows and numbers. In the quizzes you see boats slow down as they luff and speed up when the sails are trimmed in. Spinnakers are doused as boats round marks. Users can repeat the animations as many times as they want. The latest improvement allows users to modify the speed of the animations.
The quiz answers help sailors learn the rules because they follow the same sequence used on a protest form. After analyzing the animation, users go on to read the “Facts Found” followed by the “Conclusions and Rules That Apply”. In the text, each rule is hot linked so that rules can be called up on screen with a click of the mouse. The animations can be enlarged to full screen for easy viewing, or viewed along with the answer to the quiz – all on the same screen, no page flipping. This is truly the easiest way to learn the rules!
To get a sample of the animated quizzes, see them for free on the UK-Halsey web site by clicking here. The quizzes on the site are a stripped down version of what comes in the program download. See the picture to the left showing the difference between watching an animation in the small size on the web site as compared to full screen on your computer using the download.
The answers to the quizzes were re-written for the new rules by Rob Overton, a member of the rule writing committee. Needless to say, our answers reflect the greatest understanding of the rules. Don’t miss Rob’s frequent postings to the UK-Halsey Rules Blog.
The cost of the program is $55, $40 for owners of the Rules Quiz CD.
