This is a really interesting article from Sailing World, going over a scenario from the 2007 Americas Cup and the applicable rules. Alinghi put Team New Zealand in a tough situation, was able to draw a foul, won the race, and and eventually defended the cup thanks to their quick thinking and knowledge of the rules. If you're involved in match racing, or even watching match racing, it's important to understand the rules at play.
