Sail country codes must comply with World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing. The Racing Rules of Sailing Appendix G1.2 specifies that national letters shall be clearly legible and of the same color.[1]
They must be placed below the class insignias and above the sail number.
In 1992, the code system was aligned to the one of IOC and has followed since.[2]
The complete list is published by World Sailing (formerly ISAF) and can be accessed on "Appendix G IDENTIFICATION ON SAILS" of the rules
