The

CASE BOOK

for 2005-2008

Interpretations of the Racing Rules

International Sailing Federation

February 2005

Published by ISAF (UK) Ltd., Southampton UK

Preface

The Case Book for 2005-2008 follows a complete review of all the cases

previously published and includes six new cases adopted by the ISAF

Council since 2001. Many cases have been rewritten, some only slightly

but others extensively, to illustrate as clearly as possible the application of

the 2005-2008 racing rules. Cases are numbered sequentially beginning

with ‘1’, but there are gaps in the number sequence as a result of past

deletions.

New cases may be added each year in November during the ISAF

Annual Meetings, and sometimes cases are slightly changed or deleted. In

2006, 2007 and 2008, most likely in January, new cases and changes in

existing cases will be posted on the ISAF web site (www.sailing.org) and

mailed to International Judges, Umpires and Race Officers, and also

national authorities and ISAF class associations.

The Case Book for 2005-2008 was prepared by the Case Book Working

Party: Dick Rose, Chairman, Bill Bentsen, Trevor Lewis and Tony

Mooney.

ISAF Regulations and Rule Interpretations

ISAF Regulation 31.3, Interpretations of the Racing Rules of Sailing,

governs publication of the cases in The Case Book and all other

interpretations of the racing rules. Regulation 31.3 includes the following:

Interpretations of the Racing Rules of Sailing

31.3

Interpretations of the racing rules by the ISAF shall be made only

through publication of cases [in The Case Book or of umpire calls]

in [ The Call Book for Match Racing or The Call Book for Team

Racing ]. The cases are authoritative interpretations and

explanations of the rules for all racing and the calls are

authoritative interpretations and explanations of the rules only for

umpired match or team racing.

31.3.1 The Racing Rules Committee shall study cases . . . submitted . . .

and shall recommend to the Council those that it approves for

publication. . . .

31.3.2 Submissions for cases . . . shall be received at the ISAF Secretariat

before the deadline [for submissions each year]. The submission . .

. shall state whether a proposed case . . . duplicates a published

case . . . and, if so, why the proposed case is preferable.

31.3.5 The following are guidelines for publishing cases:

(a) Each case shall significantly clarify an important meaning of a

rule or increase the understanding of a complex rule.

(b) The case shall not duplicate one already published. When the

case is an improvement on an existing case it shall be included

and the existing case deleted.

31.4

Except for the publication of the ISAF Case or Call books, there

shall be no interpretation of, publication of, or notice about the

racing rules by the ISAF unless first reviewed and approved by the

Chairman of the Racing Rules Committee or a member of the

committee designated by the Chairman.
