Certified sailmakers

Post by Art Prufer » 15 Feb 2026, 17:02

According to this rule:
G.2.2 CERTIFICATION (a) Except where sails are certified as in (b) the official measurer shall certify sails in the tack and shall date each with the date of certification control. (b) An MNA may appoint one or more persons at a sailmaker to certify sails produced by that manufacturer. A special licence shall be awarded for that purpose.

AND ON THE RIG MEASUREMENT FORM:
MAINSAILS
31. G.2.2(b) If the sails have been certificated by a manufacturer awarded a special license, then omit steps 32 to 60
HEADSAILS
60. G.2.2 (b) If the sails have been certificated by a manufacturer awarded a special licence, omit steps 62 to 86

Where can we get the list of manufacturers who have been awarded this special licence, and what sail markings are required to indicate that they have been 'pre-certified' ?

Hi Art - thanks for the question. It is an interesting one.

I will do some follow up on this and post a response once I have it clarified.
