Rules, Manuals & Policies

Race officials base their practice on not only the Racing Rules of Sailing but also case law developed on the interpretation of those rules from appeals. Their practice is also influenced by the spirit of the RYA Racing Charter whilst manuals of various disciplines provide some standardisation.
