Easy access on your iPhone for racing rules! In this app I have omitted the signals and appendix sections of the official rule book and just focused on the text of the rules. In this app you will have all that you need for checking the rules - in the palm of your hand. Note: this pocket guide is not intended to replace the World Sailing official racing rules of sailing in print form! The rules and data in this app are from various public domain resources and verified for accuracy against the official rules from https://www.sailing.org/inside-world-sailing/rules-regulations/racing-rules-of-sailing For the official rules, go the the World Sailing Organization website to obtain the official racing rules of sailing in print form.
