The Yacht Race

This is a sailing game published in Perth, Australia based on Australia's Americas Cup defense. Two dice are rolled to move the plastic yachts around the course. Each die represents the number of spaces you may move on a given track. If you roll doubles, you may take a card from the locker. The game is very abstract and although the map of the Perth coast is nice, it bears small resemblance to sailing. The rule book has some background notes on the event.
