2021-2024 Racing Rules now available

The 2021-2024 edition of World Sailing’s Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), which is reviewed and revised as needed every four years by World Sailing, have been published and will come into effect on January 1, 2021.

World Sailing’s Racing Rules Committee, a group of experienced international judges and officials, are the guardians of the RRS. Following the publication of the last edition, the Committee have taken on feedback from sailors, Member Nations, and sailing officials to refine this edition.

Requests for reproduction of the Rules, including all requests to electronically reproduce the Rules online or via apps, must be sent to office@sailing.org. For further information on reproduction of the rules, click here.

For Member Nations who wish to issue prescriptions which are mandatory under RRS 88.2, these must be emailed to the World Sailing Executive Office with a request that they be approved. Prescriptions are only approved once they are posted on the World Sailing website.
