Purpose and Use:
These Special Regulations do not replace, but rather supplement, the requirements of governmental authority, the Racing Rules and the rules of Class Associations and Rating Systems. The attention of owners is called to restrictions in the Rules on the location and movement of equipment.It is the purpose of the Special Regulations to establish uniform minimum equipment, accommodation and training standards for monohull and multihull yachts racing offshore.
The Offshore Racing Council strongly recommends the use of these Special Regulations by all organizers of offshore races. Race Committees may select the category deemed most suitable for the type of race to be sailed.
The Special Regulations are reviewed every two years, and are published by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), see Offshore Regulations.
