Wouter-

I don't remember the "A"'s measuring the boom (although I think there IS something about it can't be over a certain size without being included in the sail area- Like the rudder can't be over a certain width or it is included in the length of the hull- This is to prevent someone having a 12" wide boom, etc. The Taipan rules also limit boom size- by saying it must fit through a circle of X dimension as I remember). They measure and mark the mast and the sail, but not the boom.
