On this page we have loaded copies of the current Racing Rules of Sailing as well as a number of articles which provide information about the Racing Rules and information about some of the strategic and tactical moves you can make in a race.
Remember that Radio Sailing Rules are included in Appendix E of the Racing Rules of Sailing.
To help explain those rules, there is a Radio Sailing Case Book which you can download. This book explains the rules and is a great resource.
