RYA Handy Guide to the Racing Rules 2021-2024 (E-YR7‪)‬

The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) are revised and published every four years by World Sailing, the international authority for the sport.


This book is a simplified view of the basic racing rules and has been updated to reflect the Racing Rules of Sailing 2021-2024. This 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 (RYA product code YR1) in addition to this publication.
