Sail-World: The provisions of the Sailing Instructions are a discussion draft with the final version being available some time after the meeting to be held in Singapore, early next week.

The Notice of Race is final, but subject to amendment, maybe. It is amended apparently in accordance with decisions reached between the parties in late December at a meeting in Sydney.
