A Sailor's Guide to the Galaxy is a volunteer-built reference provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. It is not sailing instruction and no certification is offered or implied. Sailing involves inherent risks; nothing here substitutes for proper training, judgment, or safety equipment. Race scoring tools are provided as a convenience — the Racing Rules of Sailing and your event's sailing instructions and race committee are always the final authority on results. Don't panic.
