Foreword

Team Racing continues to develop as an important part of our sport. Sailed in dinghies or keel-boats, it attracts all ages and experiences, from school and junior squad sailors at local events to World and Olympic Champions at the biennial ISAF Team Racing World Championships.
The Call Book has been developed and refined with input from sailors and umpires alike due to the need for as much consistency as possible in responding to on the water protests. The aim of the Call Book is to help resolve any doubt amongst sailors and umpires about situations referred to in the Call Book. This latest edition updates calls to reflect the 2005-2008 Racing Rules of Sailing and also introduces new calls and fine-tunes the existing text.
It is important to note that this Call Book, like previous editions, is only authoritative for Team Racing.
The ISAF Racing Rules Committee trusts that competitors and umpires will continue to provide input to the Racing Rules Committee for further
development of the Call Book.
Readers with comments and suggestions are invited to send them to the ISAF
Secretariat.
