F. Runner Base & Cut (Track)

INTERPRETATIONS OF THE OFFICIAL SPECIFICATIONS BY THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE

Effective May 31, 2020

F. Runner Base and Cut (Track)

3/12/2007: Measuring F.2: In order to make repeatable measurements of runner cut as intended by this Specification the following methods should be used:

1. Rigging should not be tight during measurement. The skipper must be allowed to loosen the rigging as required to relieve static tension.
2. Sailor should be wearing normal racing attire, including helmet, goggles, etc.
3. Mainsheet must be loose.
4. The runners must be allowed to move. If on the ice, the boat may be pushed to allow the runners to seek a neutral position. If using a measurement fixture, the device must allow free sideways movement of the runners.
5. The skipper should be in the cockpit in normal sailing position (lying in the cockpit with his shoulders against the seatback).
