Sail Measurements. There was considerable discussion on limiting sail head (H1) size, but sail makers pointed out that this was easy to abuse IF they wanted to. A further meeting outside the Technical Committee of Messers Vink, Goodall, Tanguy, Boulogne, Bernitez and Findlay has agreed that the
H1 measurement should be limited to 1000mm or thereabouts and a further measurement should be taken on the leech with a “swinging arc, 1 m 50 cms from the uppermost part of the head point, this measurement would then be taken horizontally back to the bolt rope. The small group would discuss and refine this matter before the end of the Hyeres regatta. (Don Findlay called Pablo Soldano on this matter and he thought this was a sensible way forward) This should make further foot measurements obsolete. [color:"blue"] [/color]

May get away with it, just depend how far down the leech 1.5m goes! [/color]
