The  primary obligation of the US SAILING Safety at Sea Committee is to scrutinize the
International Sailing Federation Special Regulations Governing Offshore and Oceanic Racing including US SAILING Prescriptions
and make recommended changes to
ISAF's Special Regulations Committee.

When the U.S. needs are different from the international agreed upon recommendations,
US SAILING modifies the book with what is called a "US SAILING Prescription".

The first thing you need going into this page is your own copy of the
2008-2009 ISAF Special Regulations Governing Offshore and Oceanic Equipment
and Preparation, including US SAILING Prescriptions.
