Racing Rules of Sailing

Australian Sailing has ceased producing the "Blue Book" in hard copy and replaced it with a digital version.

A PDF copy of the 2021-24 Blue Book (including Australian Sailing prescriptions) may be downloaded here.

Special Regulations

The sport of sailing in Australia has a strong reputation for self-management of safety. An important tool for this is the Special Regulations, whose purpose is to establish uniform minimum equipment, accommodation and training standards for racing boats.

Special Regulations do not replace, but rather supplement the requirements of government authorities, the Racing Rules of Sailing and the rules of class associations and rating systems.
