SCHRS MEASUREMENT

New ratings for the 2013 season have recently been approved by the SCHRS World Council. We are busy this page and expect the new information to appear in a few days.

Basic Boat Measurements

* Including Rotating Masts and Boom, when applicable.

The Boat Measurement

Beam Measurements

  • Beam - Width of the beam *

* The maximum width of the boat, including wings, racks, sliding seats or other appendages.

The Beam Measurement

Boards Measurements

  • Standard daggerboard where VLB = board depth below hulls (a)

  • T Foil daggerboard where VLB = addition of both lengths (b + c)

  • Curved daggerboard where VLB = measured around external circumference (d)

Main Sail Measurements

CM - Area of Main Sail + Mast + Boom

  • S1 = ((h + h1)(a - a1) + (a1 x h))/2
  • S2 = c x h2/2
  • S3 = 2/3 c3 x h3
  • S4 = c4 x h4/2
  • S5 = 2/3 c5 x h5
  • S6 = 2/3 c6 x h6
  • S7 = 2/3 a x h7
  • S8 = 2/3 b x h8
  • CM* = (S1+S2+S3+S4+S5+S6+S7+S8)m²
  • Area of Mast0 = (Total Length x Perimeter / 2)m²
  • Area of Boom1 = (Total Length x Height)m²
  • CM = (CM* + Area of Mast + Area of Boom)m²

* intermediate calculation if other conditions apply
0 only applies to rotating masts
1 does not apply to boomless sails or if height is greater than 1.5 of breath

LTM Length of Top of Mainsail

Length of Top of Mainsail

Jib Measurements

CJ - Area of Jib

  • S9 = a x h / 2
  • S10 = 2/3 b x h10
  • S11 = 2/3 c x h11
  • S12 = 2/3 a x h12
  • CJ = ( S9 +or- S10 +or- S11 +or- S12 ) m²

Spinnaker Measurements

CSPI - Area of Spinnaker

  • CSPI = SFx(SL1+SL2)/4+(SMG*-SF/2)x2/3(SL1+SL2)/2 m²

* where SMG >= 75% of SF
