Racing Rules of Sailing
The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) governs the sport of sailboat, sailboard and kite board racing. It is revised and published every four years by World Sailing. The current 2021-2024 version with Australian Sailing (AS) will be replaced by the 2025-28 version on January 1, 2025.
The new ‘Blue Book’ took effect on 1 January 2021.
All rule references within the ‘Blue Blook’ are bookmarked allowing for easy navigation throughout the publication.
