<HTML> <HEADER> <TITLE>IYRU Speed Sailing Rules</TITLE> </HEADER> <BODY> <H1>Speed Sailing Rules</H1> The International Yacht Racing Union/World Sailing Speed Record Council (IYRA/WSSRC), with offices based in England, sets rules for and ratifies sailing speed records. To be considered for a record, a sailor must provide at their own expense an IYRU/WSSRC-approved observer, a surveyor's measurement of the prescribed 500-meters course, calibration of all stopwatches by a certified authority, and radio-equipped timing equipment at both start and finish. Data from a record-breaking run is submitted to IYRA/WSSRC for ratification.<BR> Records may be set in any of five classes according to sail area: <UL> <LI>Under 10m^2 ..... Up to 10.00m^2 (107.0ft^2) <LI>Class A ......... 10.00 to 13.94m^2 (149.2ft^2) <LI>Class B ......... 13.94 to 21.84m^2 (233.7ft^2) <LI>Class C ......... 21.84 to 27.88m^2 (298.3ft^2) <LI>Class D .........
