How to Properly Measure Sailboats - Rigging

In an effort to standardize the way measurers around the world are measuring in sails, this is an instructional video on how to properly measure a rig. This includes the mast, the boom, bow sprits and spinnaker poles. The purpose of this instructional video is to demonstrate the techniques of measurement of sailboats and their dimensions, their characteristics and their stability. This is brought to you by the Offshore Racing Congress and references the rules of the International Measurement System, although these may apply to other measurement rules as well.
