Page 3 - Call Book for Team Racing 2017-2020

Foreword

Team Racing continues to develop as an important part of our sport. Sailed in
dinghies or 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 Team
Racing World Championship.

The 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 reflect the Racing Rules of Sailing for 2017 –
2020 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 Secretariat.
