Guidance Notes 

Documentation of practice is useful to allow both standardisation and optimisation of the service a race official can provide for the sailors.  These documents are loosely categorised into groups and then listed in alphabetical order for ease of access.  There is also some duplication of the documents across the groups, again to facilitate access to the document you are looking for.

Mainly for Racing Sailors
Documentation concerning the rules and processes useful for the racing sailor.
Judging and Disputes
The areas of judging and disputes between competitors. From advisory notes on Appendix M to information to competitors from the judges and the appeal process.
Conduct
Bad behaviour of both competitors and officials is sometimes an unfortunate feature of all sports and requires management in a precise and proper manner.
Events, Classes & Disciplines
Documents to support the management of events of differing disciplines and racing for certain classes.
