The World Sailing Equipment Rules of Sailing (ERS) are rules for
the use of equipment in sailboat racing, equipment definitions, and
rules on equipment control and inspection.
The ERS are not part of The Racing Rules of Sailing. They apply
only when explicitly invoked by one or more of the following:

• The notice of race and sailing instructions for an event.
• National authority prescriptions.
The ERS are available in booklet form from World Sailing and they
can be downloaded from www.sailing.org/ers.
