Foreword
Welcome to the 2018 Olympic Classes Handbook (OCH). 2017 was
another very successful season with Britain once again delivering
more medals in Olympic Class competition than any other nation. It
also saw a change in team management with both Mark Robinson
and myself new to the team. We are very excited about the prospects
for Tokyo 2020 and we are both looking forward to the challenges
that lie ahead. It certainly doesn’t get any easier to win an Olympic
medal and so we need to continually raise the bar.
The Sailing World Cup Series will continue to play a key part in a
sailor’s Olympic campaign, both for seasoned campaigners and
aspirants alike. In 2018 a shortened series will climax with a final in
the 2024 Olympic venue in Marseille in June. This will be followed by
the start of a new series in September, with an opening regatta in the
2020 Olympic venue, Enoshima. In addition, the range of class
championships and EUROSAF events, provide numerous
opportunities for high quality competition.
Whilst Paralympic sailing will not feature in Tokyo 2020, we remain
committed to working alongside World Sailing and other nations to
get the sport reinstated in 2024. We have agreed a programme of
grants, coaching and other support, which will assist sailors with
potential future Paralympic aspirations to attend key events. This will
enable them to still campaign at the highest level, whilst deliberations
surrounding the sport’s Paralympic future continue. Continued
participation in key events by competitors from all over the world will
be crucial to the attempt to get Paralympic sailing reinstated in 2024.
The Olympic Classes Handbook (OCH) remains an important tool for
aspiring Olympic sailors and provides information regarding:
All Olympic sailing programmes
Olympic class events and qualification events
Eligibility and the systems used to provide travel grants to
key international regattas
Entry criteria to the World Class Programme
_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 5
It remains a live document subject to revision, and the latest version
can be viewed on the British Sailing Team website.
As part of the process to develop aspiring talent transferring from the
Youth Classes into the Olympic Classes, we will be continuing our
new programme, the Podium Potential Pathway (P3) squad. This
programme supports sailors through a transition which often comes
at a challenging time. Sailors are often required to balance their
commitment to the sport together with the demands of higher
education.
Sailors aspiring to join Podium Potential Pathway (P3), the Podium
Potential Squad (P2) or the World Class Podium Squad (P1) should
refer to the pages which outline the eligibility criteria. It should be
noted that this is the criteria in order to be considered for selection
and that simply achieving the criteria will not automatically ensure a
squad place. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility,
please contact the Podium Potential or Pathway Managers in the first
instance.
The RYA continues to run an Olympic Classes Spring Series for all
classes (except Laser and Radial - see their class pages for details)
in conjunction with the class associations. This is compulsory for all
sailors on the Podium Potential Pathway (P3). Please find details of
the class organised events in the relevant class calendar. The RYA
organised events will be held as follows:
3rd / 4th February 2018, WPNSA
10th / 11th March 2018, WPNSA
The 2018 domestic calendar is rounded off with the RYA National
Ranking Series. This is compulsory for all sailors on the World Class
Programme. Please find details of the class organised events in the
relevant class calendar. The RYA organised events will be held as
follows:
27th / 28th October 2018, WPNSA
3rd / 4th November 2018, WPNSA
_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 6
The RYA Olympic Classes Spring Series and the RYA National
Ranking Series continue to form part of the Qualification Series for
grants and places at selected international events.
The Notice of Race (NOR) for the RYA Olympic Classes Spring
Series can be found on page 47 in this booklet. This will also be
posted on the RYA Events website.
Rio 2016, where the sailing team contributed to such an inspiring
Team GB performance, already seems like a distant memory. Tokyo
2020 is now fast approaching and qualifying our nation’s entry in all
10 Olympic Classes at the combined Olympic Class World
Championships in Aarhus in August is an important stepping stone
along the way. You can rest assured that we will leave no stone
unturned in our quest for Olympic success in Tokyo 2020 and by
working together we can remain the most successful sailing nation in
the world.
I wish you a hugely successful and rewarding year of training and
competition in 2018.

Racing Charter
Objectives
To provide the framework for everyone to enjoy the sport of sailboat
racing in whatever capacity and to whatever level the individual
desires.
To ensure that the sport of sailboat racing welcomes all people and
treats them equally.
To ensure that those who experience sailboat racing are encouraged
to continue.
Principles and Practices
The sport welcomes all participants; it relies largely on self-
compliance and self-policing. Those that deliberately take unfair
advantage of this or behave in an inappropriate manner, either on or
off the water, can expect action to be taken against them.
Competitors agree to compete in compliance with the rules and
behave in accordance with accepted standards of sailboat racing.
When involved in a genuine dispute, all parties to the dispute and
those deciding the matter will use the established procedures for
achieving resolution.
Foul or abusive language, intimidation, aggressive behaviour or lack
of respect for others and their property will not be tolerated.
Organisers, officials and other providers of sailboat racing agree to
provide the fairest racing possible. This includes encouraging feed-
_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 8
back and facilitating the resolution of genuine disputes (including
protests) in a timely and proper manner.
Coaches and other advisers agree to encourage their competitors to
compete, and behave in compliance with the above principles and
practices.
This Charter applies equally to those who organise, manage, coach,
advise, judge, provide services and compete (including those who
support competitors) in sailboat racing.
The RYA encourages the adoption and implementation of this
Charter, and provides guidance and support to individuals and
organisations to assist implementation. This guidance and support is
consistent with the practices of World Sailing.

_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 9
Application of RYA Racing Charter
Through its Racing Charter, the RYA seeks to promote fair and enjoyable racing for all. What competitors should expect:
Racing that, as far as possible, is fair, enjoyable and safe
Shore facilities, administration and race management to acceptable standards and appropriate to the event
A way to complain or make a suggestion, and a response to complaints and suggestions
Prompt resolution of any disputes What is expected of competitors:
Courtesy and respect to other competitors, officials, and other users of the water, both afloat and ashore
Compliance with the rules, and take a penalty when required by the rules
Use of the provided services to resolve any disputes Resolution of Racing Disputes:
The RYA encourages the adoption of the exoneration penalty, advisory hearings and RYA arbitration in addition to protest hearings to improve the understanding of and compliance with the Racing Rules of Sailing. See http://www.rya.org.uk/racing/raceofficials/Pages/AdvisoryServices.aspx Unacceptable Behaviour:
The RYA encourages the use of rule 69 and rule 2 to penalise and deter unacceptable behaviour both on and off the water. Guidelines on their application in the UK are included on the RYA website.

_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 13
Criteria Notes:
In addition to the guidance criteria above, consideration for
inclusion at all levels is based on cyclical number fluctuations
and constraints, World Sailing Class changes and RYA World
Class Programme strategies driven by the best use of resources
to meet the medal winning aims of the World Class Programme,
as directed by the RYA Director of Racing.
To be eligible for consideration for selection to the World Class
Podium Programme (P1) sailors must have an Olympic Games
focussed programme and a realistic chance of winning a medal
in a major international competition within 4 years, in addition to
meeting the performance criteria.
Levels of support offered to Podium athletes can be at different
levels subject to individual programme. For sailors in the WCP
further information can be found in the Athlete Handbook on the
RYA website.
Performance criteria are minimum requirements to be considered
for selection to the WCP – simply achieving the criteria will not
automatically result in a squad place.
Results are athletes (not nations) and European Championship
results exclude non – Europeans.
The length of time a sailor remains at a level will be continually
reviewed, however, as a guideline, sailors are expected to re-
qualify as a minimum as follows:
Level A – at one of the next two World Championships (or
appropriate Olympics/Pre-Olympics).
Levels B - at either the next World or European Championships
(or appropriate Olympics/Pre-Olympics).
_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 14
In addition to the performance criteria, athletes also need to meet
and maintain the relevant profiling benchmark standards and
exhibit the values and behaviours of the programme.
A or B status sailors who change boat will drop one funding level
except in exceptional circumstances and will then be required to
deliver a qualifying result at the next qualifying event.
A or B status doublehanded sailors who change crew will drop
one funding level except in exceptional circumstances and will
then be required to deliver a qualifying result at the next
qualifying event.
Where crew or class changes result in doublehanded sailors
having different funding levels, their funding level will be
equalised to the level achieved at the next qualification event.
Funding is subject to sailors maintaining the terms of their RYA
World Class Agreements.

Olympic Classes Event Programme and
Qualification System
The following pages show the current programme of events for
Olympic classes. It also indicates how grants and event qualification
places, where applicable, will be allocated to sailors. Further details
regarding how the process is managed can be found below and also
on the relevant class page. The events programme and, from time to
time the qualification system, is subject to change and therefore the
latest and applicable version of this document remains online on the
British Sailing Team website.
RYA Grants
The RYA provides a limited amount of grant support to sailors, who
are not on the World Class Programme at levels A - E, to help them
attend Senior and Junior European Championships and key
EUROSAF events. Sailing World Cup events and Senior World
Championships will usually not be supported. The grant is
approximately the traveling costs, based on double or triple trailing,
calculated by the RYA.
The grant amounts are dependent upon the levels of funding
available and are normally paid one month prior to the event. All
grants are repayable immediately if the sailor does not attend the
regatta for any reason. Grants will not be handed down in the event
of the grant winner not attending the event.
Grant recipients are subject to an RYA code of conduct which must
be signed and returned before payment will be made.
Qualification System
The qualification systems for all of the available grants and/or places
are shown in this booklet under each class programme.
_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 25
Qualification Series Standings for 470, Finn, RS:X, Nacra 17, 49er,
49erFX and 2.4mR can be found here.
Laser and Radial Ladder Standings and the qualifying system for
sailors’ places to Europeans can be found on the UKLA Website.
The Sailing World Cup Qualification System can be found here.
Qualification Series: Best 2 events from last 3
Scoring System
The events discard system for grant qualification for events is
outlined on the respective class page in this booklet. The
Qualification Series results table is formed using the overall finishing
positions of individual events in the series.
In the event of the cancellation without racing of an individual
Qualification Series event, either in advance or at the event, due to
unforeseen circumstances, unsuitable weather, lack of entries etc.,
the Qualification Series will disregard this event for the purpose of
grant allocation and standings.
For multi handed classes the grant goes to the helm and is awarded
based on the results of the helm.
Exceeding EUROSAF and Sailing World Cup Entry Quotas
Where GBR entries to EUROSAF, Sailing World Cup or other events
exceed the quota set by the organisers, entries given to the RYA will
be allocated based on the system used for grant qualification for that
event.
If no grants are available for the event, entries given to the RYA will
be allocated based on the National Rankings taken on the final
deadline for entries date, as specified in the Notice of Race. The RYA
reserves the right to select A and B status sailors.
_____________________________________________________________ RYA Olympic Classes Handbook 26
Qualification for 2018 Sailing World Championships
1. All sailors who would like to request entry to represent GBR at the
2018 Sailing World Championships shall register with the RYA by 1st
February 2018 by sending an email to this effect to Sasha Lines
[email protected]. Late applications for entries will be
accepted at the sole discretion of the RYA Olympic Steering Group.
2. A link to the qualification system can be found here:
3. World Sailing requires Member National Authorities (which is the
RYA for GBR sailors) to the nominate sailors who will participate at
the 2018 Sailing Worlds Championships.
4. Given the complex qualification process, the RYA needs to have in
place an entry Priority Ranking List.
5. The OSG will determine the RYA’s entry Priority Ranking List for
GBR. The OSG will use any information it thinks is relevant to create
the Priority Ranking List, including the following primary indicators:
a. RYA World Class Programme A and B status sailors.
b. International Indicator Event(s) as per the table below, on a
cumulative series score with ties broken on the basis of the last
event.
c. 2017 National Ranking Series / UKLA Ladder (as appropriate).
6. For the purpose of clarity, ‘Indicators’ are not ‘Qualifiers’
7. The OSG will use its best endeavours to announce the selected
sailor(s) in each class on or before 1 June 2018.

information produced for the venue or event and to attend any safety briefing held at the venue;
