What Rules football are we playing, Tom? NFL ?CFL? Association? Aussie Rules? Gaelic?

Not a Fireball in sight -- used to race them back in the late 60's -- fun boat -- found that it could actually be surfed on a broad reach with bare poles and no rudder in a 45 knot squall on an inland lake. Also capsized to windward one day with the Admiral out on the wire -- wasn't too popular that day.
With the British Virgins being under English jurisdiction I suppose we should stick to their version --- some call it soccer.
