on the water, stimulate you to comment or propose an additional call, please send
an email to World Sailing at office@sailing.org. If there's an incident that you are
unsure of, then perhaps it should be written up and submitted as a new call.

The publishing of the Call Book is governed by World Sailing regulation 28. This
means that it is authoritative for team racing only. It also means that changes can
only be made through the same submission procedures as changes to the rules
themselves.

World Sailing regulations provide for a system with Rapid Response Team
Racing Calls. Calls proposed under this system should be presented in a form
similar to existing calls, and sent to the World Sailing office in Southampton. A
call approved as a Rapid Response Call will be immediately communicated to all
IUs, and MNAs. In addition it will be posted on the World Sailing website
www.sailing.org.

The Match & Team Racing Rules Working Party will make recommendations on
submitted calls and approved Rapid Response Calls to the Racing Rules
Committee November meeting each year.

I welcome any comments for improvement of this Call Book.
