Racing Rules of Sailing
2005-2008

Every four years, in the year following the Olympic Games, the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) issues a revised edition of the racing rules which are endorsed by US Sailing. The revised rules took effect January 2005.

The new rules are available on the ISAF website and the US Sailing prescriptions are also available online. The rule books with prescriptions may also be purchased from US Sailing. A good summary of the changes to the RRS was provided courtesy of the International Lightning Class Association.

The ISAF appeals book is also online.
