The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) are revised and published every four years by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), the international authority for the sport.
This pocket guide is a simplified view of the basic racing rules and has been updated to reflect the Racing Rules of Sailing 2013-2016. This digital version has been enhanced with animations and audio commentary to help clarify the rules.
It is essential reading if you are new to racing and covers the following key areas:
Principals
When boats meet
Penalty turns
Propulsion
Protesting
The race committee
For simplicity, this guide does not cover all of the rules and exceptions; sailors are strongly recommended to study the RYA Racing Rules of Sailing (code YR1) in addition to this publication.
