Welcome to the archive of the Yacht Racing Rules.
These documents are all older versions of current documents. In most cases the older versions are no longer available from their original publishers. I have provided links to the original publishers for current versions. The content presented here allows you to learn about the evolution of the rules and their interpretation. I have chosen the title "Yacht Racing Rules" since that is what they were called prior to 1997. They are now called the Racing Rules of Sailing.
