by Zoe Hawkins

As a result of actions taken by the ISAF Racing Rules Committee and the ISAF Council during the ISAF Annual Conference, several changes in The Racing Rules of Sailing for 2009-2012 will take effect on 1 January 2010.

The changes affect Rule 18.2 relating to Mark Room, the definition of the term Obstruction, competitor advertising, and several items in the appendices and should be reviewed by all sailors participating in racing.
