Sorry:

the question is... NO BATTEN, NO POCKET.

Tks.

G.3 MAINSAIL
G.3.1 CONSTRUCTION
(a) MANDATORY
(4) The sail shall have three batten pockets, or battens if there are no
batten pockets, at the leech.

Can a manufacturer NOT PUT BATTEN?

Tks per response.

That sentence did not take into account the phrase "floating in fresh water ".
¡¡¡The procedures would have won !!!

Pity.

The old tenet of 'When in doubt, get the tape measure out' still applies. Val: With template, never have doubt, and if you see clearly "does not pass or passes." The tape will only confirm what the plan has clearly shown. Fortunately, technology is our best allied, and we must not despise those who...

What I am saying is that with a template that has been drawn with a plotter that has a precision of 0.1 mm, gives a higher accuracy than using a meter with house brands each 1mm or each 0.5 mm. Simply replace the "metro" for a more accurate template. At no time did he speak of tolerance. The dimensi...

Of course, as with any measurement, when the result is very very close to the limit, we tend to recheck and would resort to more traditional methods and a metric rule etc. Only remark that if the template that comment, tall sail without attaching to the mast, the precision you get (the plotter that...

Of course I have the original manual for Tony in his first edition. If you are interested, I can try to scan it and send it. I speak 4 languages other than English, all Romance. So for me, it is difficult to express in English. "I think we could make the rules easier and so reduces the problems with...

Of course the skipper has the right to tell the Jury his point of view. But the measurer is part of AS OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF RACE. As such, his opinion is usually greater than the Skipper Basically, the skipper is solely responsible for YOUR BOAT IS UNDER THE RULES. Do 'nt forget that the measurer's...

Hi Valpro, Nigel and Hiljoball: We thank both the information that ye me, and here's a little of what I know. I am measurer since 1976. Was part of the team that taught measuring gauges around the world who met in 1981 (approximately 40) with Tony Watts (R.I.P)as the highest representative of the th...

What you say is true ... whenever there is a protest. Previously, he will have taken control, and usually a Jury is not going to change what he's seen as the correct by measurer. Therefore, it is who decides what is really is good or bad, because the measurer's function is to achieve maximum equity ...

For information on all of ISAF and consultations:
ISAF act quickly if you are asked ...
Since (a proposal of mine) was disqualified in Mr.Bundock at Palma trophy AUS1 to ISAF for approval of new rule G.5.3 repealing G.5.1, have only 9 days ...
So there is time ... Just asking.

Hi Nigel. Can you please answer my question about "who will measure the world championship." I'm doing a question and do not intend to open another forum for discussion about what each one feels about an issue or another. For this and other forums, which obviously can not come to any conclusion. I d...

We know who will be responsible for the measurement at next World championsip ?. It would be nice to know what are the criteria under which they will act: Will accept 10mm masts? How will consider the problem of weights, as discussed at length in the forum rules of class? Accept measurement certifi...

By the way: I saw the obligation to protest (such as race committee) to the Australian boat, because he had an Olympic Spinnaker. (On the Sofia Trophy) Measurer Officer Class 49er, I had indicated in an e-mail, its use is prohibited. The Jury, is not believed anything until we get to find out why th...

I have been a few days without connecting to the forum, to be acting as a measurer in the Princess Sofia Trophy in Palma de Mallorca for the 49er class, since my return, I can not give credence to what I'm reading. ISAF provides no tolerances (unless with an average value over less-tolerance-for exa...

Thanks Robert ... CLEAR AS THE LIGHT and Resolutive.
Just what is not a forum for opinion.
What we need is not opinions, but decisions on how to apply the rules.
Because apparently there are too many questions ...

Roy: I'm not offended at all. I will not go to World Championships (short course democratically awarded to the rules being discussed ad nauseam). I ask: Have you read what you said about the introduction of the ISAF International Handbook Measurers? The same question regarding the interpretation of ...

Quote: "This is why rules, regulations and laws should never be read literally as if handed down from on high and carved into stone tablets. There is always ambiguity in anything we create and no set of rules or regulations can be written to eliminate the need to interpret things in a rational manne...

Andy : in Spain, we are all prepared for electronic documents, to the point where they can put on the web for public consultation.

If there is no objection on your part, we will do so.

Salutations.

Mr XXX, is about to start measuring intergalactic championship (can not forget that ISAF measurer is and knows what to do) but is lost among a sea of uncertainties and various interpretations on how to measure the length (not sure how has built the tank, which certainly is not named in any part of t...

Is there any reason why a NCA not support a measurement form properly completed and signed by a recognized measurer, scanned in a .pdf format and also recognized as being valid?

A template, as is raising here is impossible, due to be measured between the maximum and minimum, and be measured from the leech. However, we have created a system which makes it easy to mark points 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 in the leech, with a simple movement, the dimensions are checked easily on a map pri...

On point 2 .... Really think that a small fleet, someone will build a tank to measure 3 boats? This measurer, will build a tank as an unofficial Mr. Bantock dessign, which has a window through which you see not what is it? Many boats have been seen the draft of the hull 6 cm, without having any idea...

Hi Roy, Hi Andy: I speak only from my side of measurer, and released into the air the following question: A hypothetical race organizing committee for an intergalactic race, appointed Mr. XXX for the measurement of the championship. Mr XXX, is ISAF recognised measurer that first contact with the cla...

I am following the heated discussion, and I'm scared. Is that no one with sufficient authority to bring order? Note that this forum starts a discussion, and drift into anything that has nothing to do. Recently (in private), I tried to see if there was any recommendation from the IOMICA, on how to bu...
