The Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA) has published new Procedural Rules (ISSA PR) to work with the latest Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) for 2025-2028. These are effective January 16, 2025, the beginning of the Spring 2025 Season.

A copy of the new ISSA PRs is attached to this email. They can also be found at https://hssailing.org/resources/rules/

Also, at the above location, you will find a "Study Guide Version" that highlights the changes that have been made.

All coaches, sailors, Responsible Team Adults, Race Officials, and others with active roles in High School Sailing should familiarize themselves with these new rules.

A significant change/addition is the new Appendix 1 - ISSA Code of Conduct

This Code of Conduct applies to ALL persons associated with ISSA Teams and Events.

A great deal of work has gone into this rewrite, the most extensive in well over a decade, in an effort to continue to improve the sport of High School Sailing!

A "hard copy" of these rules will be mailed to each ISSA Member School/Team over the coming weeks.

Learn and Enjoy!
