Guide to the new racing rules 2009-2012 

A Powerpoint presentation by Trevor Lewis to guide you through the changes in the Racing Rules for 2009

Many Clubs will be looking for something to help their Members learn the racing rules. Downloading this PowerPoint presentation could help; with a little homework, any qualified race official or proficient sailor should be able to deliver this hour-long presentation. On the other hand your local Regional Rules Advisor may be able to find a local expert to come and deliver it for you. To find your local Adviser, please email rulesadmin@rya.org.uk

Download the PowerPoint presentation accessible from the link on the right of the page, and open it up in presentation mode. The first slides will help you set up your computer to be able to deliver it. Slide 4 is a menu where you should choose the last option, “Quick Guide”.  This is the part to use.

For those wanting to prepare in depth or who are curious to discover more, the rest of the programme will provide you with a detailed step-by-step route through all the new changes in the Racing Rules of Sailing 2009 – 2012.   (Please note that minor changes and amendments have been made to take effect from January 2010 and these are available in the downloads on the right-hand side.)
