Foreword
Team Racing continues to develop as an important part of our sport. Sailed in dinghies
and increasingly in keel-boats, it attracts all ages and experiences, from school and
junior sailors at local events to World and Olympic Champions. Its pinnacle is the
World Sailing Team Racing World Championships.
This Call Book has been developed and refined with input from sailors and umpires
alike due to the need for as much consistency as possible in responding to on the water
protests. The aim of the Call Book is to help resolve any doubt amongst sailors, judges
and umpires about situations referred to in the Call Book.
This latest edition updates calls to maintain consistency with the Racing Rules of
Sailing for 2021 – 2024 and also introduces new calls and fine-tunes the existing text.
It is important to note that this Call Book, like previous editions, is only authoritative
for Team Racing sailed under RRS Appendix D. This includes racing with and without
umpires.
The World Sailing Racing Rules Committee trusts that competitors, judges and
umpires 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.
