Racing Rules of Sailing

Section J — Notice Of Race And Sailing Instructions

See rules 89.2 and 90.2. In this appendix, the term ‘event’ includes a race or series of races.

A rule in the notice of race need not be repeated in the sailing instructions.

Care should be taken to ensure that there is no conflict between rules in the notice of race, the sailing instructions or any other document that governs the event.

J1.1

The notice of race shall include the following:

(1) the title, place and dates of the event and name of the organizing authority;
(2) that the event will be governed by the rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing;
(3) a list of any other documents that will govern the event (for example, The Equipment Rules of Sailing, to the extent that they apply), stating where or how each document or an electronic copy of it may be obtained;
(4) the classes to race, any handicap or rating system that will be used, and the classes to which it will apply; conditions of entry and any restrictions on entries;
(5) the procedures and times for registration or entry, including fees and any closing dates;
(6) the times of warning signals for the practice race, if one is scheduled, and the first race, and succeeding races if known.
