Race flags
Knowing the rules is the only way to take advantage of a right-of-way situation while racing. It’s also safer being able to predict what actions the other skippers will take while on a collision course. These links below should make learning the rules easy.
- RacingRules2017-2020: The Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS2017-2020) directly from the source, ISAF.
- Play the Rules: A flash game perfect for practicing and testing your Racing Rules of Sailing.
- Rules Tutorial Part 1.pdf and Rules Tutorial Part 2.pdf: These tutorials dissect and expand upon the RRS with examples. Watch out, though. It’s from a model racing club and there are a few differences such as using a 4 boat-length zone instead of ISAF’s 3 boat-length zone.
