Answer | Yes. The sail measurement system is identical in concept to the 2016 10 Rater measurement system that has many advantages compared to the previous 10R system. Apart from being very simple to use it produces very repeatable results and is not type forming (does not tend to encourage one partcular sail profile shape). The 10R certificate/sail measurement software has recently been developed to give more useful information to the measurer, certification authority and sail maker. The same advantages are incorporated into the 65 Class certificate. NB In the IRSA 65 Class rules there is no requirement for a boat to have a certificate - compliance is to be established by equipment inspection at an event only. Each rig (spars, fittings, rigging and one or two sails) shall have its own certificate. Owners may have as many such rigs as they choose and use whichever three rigs they wish to during an event. |
