APPENDIX F - KITEBOARD RACING RULES
Kiteboard course races shall be sailed under The Racing Rules
of Sailing as changed by this appendix. The term ‘boat’ elsewhere
in the racing rules means ‘kiteboard’ or ‘boat’ as appropriate.
Note: Rules for other kiteboard racing formats (such as Kitecross, Slalom, Boarder
X) or other kiteboard competitions (such as Freestyle, Wave, Speed) are not
included in this appendix. Links to current versions of these rules can be found
on the ISAF website.
CHANGES TO THE DEFINITIONS
The definitions Finish, Keep Clear, Leeward and Windward, Mark-Room, Obstruction,
Start, and Tack, Starboard or Port are changed to:
Finish
A kiteboard finishes when, while the competitor is in contact with the hull,
any part of her hull, or the competitor in normal position, crosses the finishing
line from the course side. However, she has not finished if after crossing the
finishing line she
(a) takes a penalty under rule 44.2,
(b) corrects an error under rule 28.2 made at the line, or
(c) continues to sail the course.
Keep Clear
A kiteboard keeps clear of a right-of-way kiteboard
(a) if the right-of-way kiteboard can sail her course with no need to take avoiding
action and,
(b) when the kiteboards are overlapped, if the right-of-way kiteboard can also,
without immediately making contact, change course in both directions or move
her kite in any direction.
Leeward and Windward
A kiteboard’s leeward side is the side that is or, when she is head to
wind, was away from the wind. However, when sailing by the lee or directly downwind,
her leeward side is the side on which her kite lies. The other side is her windward
side. When two kiteboards on the same tack overlap, the one whose hull is on
the leeward side of the other’s hull is the leeward kiteboard. The other
is the windward kiteboard.
Mark-Room
Mark-Room for a kiteboard is room to sail her proper course to round or pass
the mark. However, mark-room for a kiteboard does not include room to tack unless
the kiteboard is overlapped inside and to windward of the kiteboard required
to give mark-room and she would be fetching the mark after her tack.
Obstruction
An object that a kiteboard could not pass without changing course substantially,
if she were sailing directly towards it and 10 metres from it. An object that
can be safely passed on only one side and an area so designated by the sailing
instructions are also obstructions. However, a kiteboard racing is not an obstruction
to other kiteboards unless they are required to keep clear of her or, if rule
23 applies, avoid her. A vessel under way, including a kiteboard racing, is
never a continuing obstruction.
Start
A kiteboard starts when, her hull and the competitor having been entirely on
the pre-start side of the starting line at or after her starting signal, and
having complied with rule 30.1 if it applies, any part of her hull, or the competitor
crosses the starting line in the direction of the first mark.
Tack, Starboard or Port
A kiteboard is on the tack, starboard or port, corresponding to the competitor’s
hand that would be forward if the competitor were in normal riding position
(riding heel side with both hands on the control bar and arms not crossed).
A kiteboard is on starboard tack when the competitor’s right hand would
be forward and is on the port tack when the competitor’s left hand would
be forward.
The definition Zone is deleted.
Add the following definitions:
About to Round or Pass
A kiteboard is about to round or pass a mark when her proper course is to begin
to manoeuvre to round or pass it.
Capsized
A kiteboard is capsized if
(a) her kite is in the water,
(b) her lines are tangled with another kiteboard’s lines, or
(c) the competitor has, clearly by accident and for a significant period of
time,
(1) fallen into the water or
(2) become disconnected from the hull.
Jumping
A kiteboard is jumping when her hull, its appendages and the competitor are
clear of the water.
Looping
kite is looping when it is being flown in a single loop or in a pattern of repeated
loops, clockwise, counterclockwise or alternating between the two.
F1 CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PART 1
[No changes.]
F2 CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PART 2
13 EXCEPTIONS TO RULES 10, 11 AND 12
Rule 13 is changed to:
13.1 When a kiteboard changes tack on an upwind leg, she shall
keep clear of other kiteboards until she is moving on a close-hauled course.
During that time rules 10, 11 and 12 do not apply. If two kiteboards are subject
to this rule at the same time, the one on the other’s port side or the
one astern shall keep clear.
13.2 If two kiteboards converge while sailing downwind and
it is not possible under rule 10, 11 or 12 to determine which one has right
of way,
(a) if they are overlapped, the one on the other’s starboard side shall
keep clear.
(b) if they are not overlapped, the one clear astern shall keep clear.
16 CHANGING COURSE OR KITE POSITION
Rule 16 is changed to:
16.1 When a right-of-way kiteboard changes course or the position of her kite,
she shall give the other kiteboard room to keep clear.
16.2 In addition, when after the starting signal a port-tack kiteboard is keeping clear by sailing to pass astern of a starboard-tack kiteboard, the starboard-tack kiteboard shall not change course or the position of her kite if as a result the port-tack kiteboard would immediately need to change course or the position of her kite to continue keeping clear.
17 ON THE SAME TACK; PROPER COURSE
Rule 17 is deleted.
18 MARK-ROOM
Rule 18 is changed as follows:
The first sentence of rule 18.1 is changed to:
Rule 18 begins to apply between kiteboards when they are required to leave a
mark on the same side and at least one of them is about to round or pass it.
The rule no longer applies after the kiteboard entitled to mark-room has passed
the mark.
Rule 18.2(b) is changed to:
(b) If kiteboards are overlapped when the first of them is about to round or
pass the mark, the outside kiteboard at that moment shall thereafter give the
inside kiteboard mark-room. If a kiteboard is clear ahead when she is about
to round or pass the mark, the kiteboard clear astern at that moment shall thereafter
give her mark-room.
Rule 18.2(c) is changed to:
(c) When a kiteboard is required to give mark-room by rule 18.2(b), she shall
continue to do so even if later an overlap is broken or a new overlap begins.
18.3 Tacking in the Zone
Rule 18.3 is deleted.
18.4 Gybing or Bearing Away
Rule 18.4 is changed to:
When an inside overlapped right-of-way kiteboard must gybe or bear away at a
mark to sail her proper course, until she gybes or bears away she shall sail
no farther from the mark than needed to sail that course. Rule 18.4 does not
apply at a gate mark.
22 STARTING ERRORS; TAKING PENALTIES; JUMPING
Rule 22.3 is changed and new rules 22.4 and 22.5 are added:
22.3 During the last minute before her starting signal, a kiteboard that stops,
slows down significantly, or one that is not making significant forward progress
shall keep clear of all others unless she is accidentally capsized.
22.4 A kiteboard that is jumping shall keep clear of one that is not.
22.5 When sailing downwind, if one kiteboard is looping her kite and another is not, the kiteboard that is looping her kite shall keep clear of the one that is not.
23 CAPSIZED OR AGROUND; RESCUING
Rule 23 is changed to:
23.1 If possible, a kiteboard shall avoid a kiteboard that is capsized or has
not regained control after capsizing, is aground, or is trying to help a person
or vessel in danger.
23.2 A kiteboard that is capsized or aground shall not interfere with another kiteboard.

or walking.
43 COMPETITOR CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
Rule 43.1(a) is changed to:

Rule 44 is changed to:
44.1 Taking a Penalty
A kiteboard may take a 360°-Turn Penalty when she may have broken one or
more rules of Part 2 in an incident while racing. Sailing instructions may specify
the use of some other penalty. However, if the kiteboard caused injury or serious
damage or, despite taking a penalty, gained a significant advantage in the race
or series by her breach her penalty shall be to retire.
44.2 360°-Turn Penalty
After getting well clear of other kiteboards as soon after the incident as possible,
a kiteboard takes a 360°-Turn Penalty by promptly making a 360° turn
with her hull in the water and with no requirement for a tack or a gybe. When
a kiteboard takes the penalty at or near the finishing line, she shall sail
completely to the course side of the line before finishing.
