Now Available

The US SAILING Race Management Handbook 2005-2008 is now available. The book is geared towards novice or seasoned Race Committee personnel and provides guidance on how to properly organize and run sailing races. Whether the organizer is putting together a Wednesday evening club race, a major one-design world championship, or an offshore regatta, the US SAILING Race Management Handbook 2005-2008 will help make the organizer’s job a lot easier and more fun.

The new Race Management Handbook brings its content into conformity with the current Racing Rules of Sailing. Some new material has been added, outdated material removed, and some familiar concepts refined. The Handbook is a "must-have" for clubs, fleets, and individuals. The Handbook presents material so Race Committees can adapt it to local conditions and circumstances.

The 296-page handbook is almost an encyclopedia on race management and is organized in easy reference format. Detailed chapters include "Organizing the Event", "Insurance and Legal Issues", "Risk Management," "Competition Formats," Course Configuration," "Notices of Race," "Sailing Instructions," Race Committee Equipment," "Race Day," "Setting The Course," "The Start," "The Race," and "Scoring and Handicapping."
