Guidance 

Guidance for competitors and race officials.

Under the umbrella of its Racing Charter, the RYA produces a range of guidance booklets and notes on the Racing Rules of Sailing and the organisation of racing.

The following were available and are listed in four categories:

  • General Guidance
  • RYA Rules Disputes Procedures
  • Guidance Primarily for Race Officials
  • Guidance Booklets

These documents will be updated and additional ones will be published as required. The guidance offered is the opinion of experts and is not a binding interpretation of the rules, nor will it be appropriate for all racing.

General Guidance
RYA Rules Disputes Procedures
Includes the RYA Protest Form
Guidance Primarily For Race Officials
Guidance Booklets
4 booklets: the RYA Guidance Booklet; the RYA Case Book; Misconduct: a Reference for Race Officials; and the Race Management Guide.
