Essential Racing Rules Pocket Guide

Simplified guide to the Racing Rules of Sailing 2025-2028 for beginners and intermediate sailors.

The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) are revised and published every four years by World Sailing, 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 2025-2028. It is essential reading if you are new to racing and covers the following key areas:

Principles
Keep Clear and Giving Room
When Boats Meet
Turns Penalties
Propulsion
Protesting and Requesting Redress
The Race Committee

For simplicity, this guide does not cover all of the rules and exceptions; sailors are strongly recommended to study the Racing Rules of Sailing (code RRS25) in addition to this publication.

Note: This title is unaffected by the key changes made by World Sailing to the Racing Rules of Sailing 2025-2028.
