World Sailing, the governing body for the sport of sailing worldwide, has teamed up with the Royal Yachting Association to launch an innovative and comprehensive new smartphone app that is designed to bring together the rules of sailing in one place. The app offers sailors around the world easy access to the latest editions of sailing rules as well as other reference materials including FAQ sections and special regulations.
What's great about this app is the fact that it consolidates the various rules of sailing in one place, but also provides plenty of casework and examples.

This allows for extreme minimization of confusion among sailors competing at all levels of the sport.
