  1. Clew and tack Measurement Points ERS – G.4.1 Clew Point The intersection of the foot and the leach, each extended as necessary ERS – G.4.3 Tack Point The intersection of the foot and the luff, each extended as necessary

  2. corner points clew point

  3. corner points clew point

  4. corner points tack point

  5. 5 steps to finding a corner measurement point using a 1m batten

  6. Step 1 Tape some paper to the back of the sail in the area of the corner point

  7. Step 2 Hold the batten at its very ends with one end roughly where the corner point will be and the other end touching the edge of the sail, held firmly in place so it can’t move away from the edge

  8. Step 3 Move the batten at the corner point end curving it until the LONGEST length of the batten touches the sail edge

  9. Step 4 Mark the curve of the batten on the paper

  10. Step 5 Do the same with the other edge

  11. The cross marks the point

  12. corner points tack point

  13. RememberERS – H.5.3Attachments at a sail edge, other than a bolt rope and tabling, shall be ignored when measuring.This does not cover attachments at the corner of a sail (remember edges and corners are different)So, unless otherwise stated, corner attachments are included in measurement. Attachments

  14. Head Measurement Point • ERS - G.4.2 • Mainsail : The intersection of the luff, extended as necessary, and the line through the highest point of the sail at 90° to the luff. • (b) Headsail: The intersection of the luff, extended as necessary, and the line through the highest point of the sail, excluding attachments, at 90° to the luff. • (c) Spinnaker: The intersection of the leeches, extended as necessary

  15. Head point Mainsail Where is the head point? What are the limits on attachment size? (At a mainsail head, attachments are included).

  21. Attachment Size • ERS – G.8.7 • (a) At a Corner or an Edge • LENGTH • At the Head: • The dimension from the head point along the luff or its extension to a line through the highest point of the attachment at 90o to the luff. • At the Tack: • The dimension from the tack point along the luff or its extension to a line through the lowest point of the attachment at 90o to the luff. • At the Clew: • The greatest dimension from the clew point. • At an Edge: • The greatest dimension from the sail edge. • (2) WIDTH • The greatest dimension measured perpendicular to the length. • (b) ELSEWHERE • The greatest dimension of the attachment.
