The maximum beam permitted will be sixty (60") inches. No hollows or concavities greater than one (1") inch will be permitted anywhere on the sides or bottom of the hull aft of the front of the center board trunk.

All hulls must be monohull; tunnels, outriggers, wings, hiking boards and trapeze will not be permitted.

D: 15' 0"

No tolerance permitted in the placing of sail limitation marks on mast - 15' 0" from top of lower to bottom of upper mark - the sail is to be set between top and bottom marks.

E: 3 1/2"

Mast diameter not to exceed 3 1/2" including sail track

F: 9' 6"

J: 5' 6"

Must not exceed 66" including bolt rope after determining midpoint.

M:

This sail dimension should be checked, placing sail on floor and applying sufficient pull to unwrinkle sail. Check leech roach at this time for true round, including transition to head board if used.

This dimension is measured from the extension of the leach true round if the junction of the leach and head is radiused. The angle of arrival of the leach may vary. A headboard may be used, but shall not be constructed so that the sail will not fit within the outline shown. A variation might be approved should the boat rope size and sail track clearance of a particular boat's spars absolutely require.
