The RYA is delighted to announce the release of two essential publications for sailors and boaters, available now on the RYA online shop. Whether you're competing on the racecourse or navigating Europe’s inland waterways, these latest resources will help ensure you are fully equipped and up to date.
The RYA Racing Rules of Sailing (2025-2028) is now available in spiral-bound waterproof paperback (order code: RRS25), eBook (order code: E-RRS25), and for the first time, audiobook format (order code: A-RRS25).
Released every four years, this edition outlines the compulsory rules for sailors worldwide and includes the full World Sailing rules, as well as the exclusive RYA Racing Charter and RYA National Prescriptions—essential for UK racing.
Key updates for the 2025-2028 cycle include new official terminology, updates to the "At Marks and Obstruction" sections, and a reworked outline for "Protests, Redress, Hearings, and Appeals". Available for £12.99, RYA members can enjoy a 15% discount across all formats. The audiobook will be available from mid-October on Apple Books, Google Play, Spotify, and more.
More information about the new rules can also be found at the RYA Race Officials National Conference which will be held in Birmingham on 25-26 January 2025. Race Officials have the chance to hear from the experts and participate in technical sessions. Full details, including ticketing, will be available on the RYA website from late September.
For boaters navigating Europe’s inland waterways, the updated edition of the RYA Handy Guide to CEVNI is now available. This guide simplifies understanding the Code Européen des Voies de Navigation Intérieure (CEVNI), which is vital for safe inland waterway navigation and a key part of the International Certificate of Competence (ICC).
The guide provides a quick reference to the lights, shapes, sounds, and signs crucial for navigation, along with updates for CEVNI 6. It’s an essential resource for seasoned mariners and newcomers alike. Priced at £9.99, both the print (order code: G106 and eBook (order code: E-G106) versions are available, with a 15% discount for RYA members.
Purchase your copies of either book and browse the full range of RYA titles on the RYA web shop now.
In the upcoming months, new editions of The RYA Handy Guide to Racing Rules 2025-2028, The RYA Racing Rules Explained 2025-2028, The RYA Tactics and the Integrated eBook for the RYA Racing Rules of Sailing 2025-2028 will be available.
Information on this will be shown on the RYA website in due course.
