RYA Handy Guide to the Racing Rules 2025–2028 (A-RRH25)

The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) are revised and published every four years by World Sailing, the international authority for the sport.

This handy guide audiobook is a simplified view of the basic racing rules and has been updated to reflect the Racing Rules of Sailing 2025-2028. It is essential reading if you are new to racing and covers the following key areas:

• Principals

• Keep Clear and Giving Room

• When Boats Meet

• Turns Penalties

• Propulsion

• Protesting and Requesting Redress

• The Race Committee

For simplicity, this guide does not cover all of the rules and exceptions; sailors are strongly recommended to study the Racing Rules of Sailing (RYA item code RRS25) in addition to this publication.
