This page shows links to rules and judging resources. While I attempt to keep them up to date, I would appreciate any corrections.
All links are to the original source except for URLs which have a "[" or "]" in the path which it turns out many of the World Sailing sites do. This format is incompatible with Google Sites. For those sites which are marked like this I have downloaded the files and made them available. The original URL is then listed below the link so that users can cut and paste the URL and check the original site.
