FOREWORD

Racing between radio controlled sailing boats continues to develop as an important part of our sport. It attracts competitors of all ages and experience, from school and junior sailors to experienced sailors who may have retired from racing dinghies or keelboats. Racing can take place on small ponds or large lakes or, occasionally, on open water.

A brief history of the Call Book is included below.

This edition updates the calls to ensure compliance with the Racing Rules of Sailing for 2021 – 2024; it also introduces new calls and fine tunes the existing text.

It is important to note that this Call Book is only authoritative for Radio Sailing sailed under the Racing Rules of Sailing including Appendix E. This includes racing with and without observers or umpires and races which are split into heats.

The World Sailing Racing Rules Committee trusts that competitors and race officials will continue to provide input to the Racing Rules Committee for further development of the Call Book.

Readers with comments and suggestions are invited to send them to the World Sailing Executive Office.
