Part appendices

Section E — Radio Sailing Racing Rules

Radio sailing races shall be sailed under The Racing Rules of Sailing as changed by this appendix.

Note: Development Rules for Umpired Radio Sailing is available on the World Sailing website.

E1.2

Terminology

The Terminology paragraph of the Introduction is changed so that:

  • (a) ‘boat’ means a sailboat that is subject to the rules, controlled by radio signals and has no crew. However, in the rules of Part 1 and Part 5, rule E6 and the definitions Party and Protest, ‘boat’ includes the competitor controlling her.
  • (b) ‘competitor’ means the person designated to control a boat using radio signals.
  • (c) In the racing rules, but not in its appendices, replace the noun ‘race’ with ‘heat’. In Appendix E a race consists of one or more heats and is completed when the last heat in the race is completed.
