THE RACING RULES OF SAILING FOR 2009 - 2012
Changes effective from 1 January 2010
As a result of actions taken by the ISAF Racing Rules Committee and the ISAF Council
during the ISAF Annual Conference, several changes in The Racing Rules of Sailing for
2009-2012 will take effect on 1 January 2010. The changes are shown in detail below.
Amended Rules – Highlighted to Show Changes Made
Words deleted from a rule are shown struck through and words added are shown in bold
and underlined.
Rule 18.2(c):
(c) When a boat is required to give mark-room by rule 18.2(b), she shall
continue to do so even if later an overlap is broken or a new overlap
begins. However, if either boat passes head to wind or if the boat entitled
to mark-room passes head to wind or leaves the zone, rule 18.2(b) ceases
to apply.
Definition Obstruction:
Obstruction An object that a boat could not pass without changing course
substantially, if she were sailing directly towards it and one of her hull lengths
from it. An object that can be safely passed on only one side and an area so
designated by the sailing instructions are also obstructions. However, a boat
racing is not an obstruction to other boats unless they are required to keep clear
of her, give her room or mark-room or, if rule 22 applies, avoid her. A vessel
under way, including a boat racing, is never a continuing obstruction.
Definition Party:
Party A party to a hearing: a protestor; a protestee; a boat requesting redress or

ceases to apply.
