APPENDIX B
WINDSURFING COMPETITION RULES
Windsurfing races shall be sailed under The Racing Rules of Sailing as changed by this appendix. The term ‘boat’ elsewhere in the racing rules means ‘board’ or ‘boat’ as appropriate. The term ‘heat’ means one elimination race, a ‘round’ consists of several heats, and an ‘elimination series’ consists of one or more rounds. However, in speed competition, a ‘round’ consists of one or more speed ‘runs’. A windsurfing event can include one or more of the following disciplines or their formats: Discipline Racing Expression Speed Formats Course racing; Slalom; Marathon Wave performance; Freestyle Standard Offshore Speed Course; Speed Crossings; Alpha Speed Course
In racing or expression competition, boards may compete in elimination series, and only a limited number of them may advance from round to round. A marathon race is a race scheduled to last more than one hour. In expression competition a board’s performance is judged on skill and variety rather than speed and is organized using elimination series.
