5 steps to finding a corner
measurement point using a 1m batten
![Page 6: Clew and tack Measurement Points](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56814388550346895db003ca/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Step 1
Tape some paper to the back of the sail in the area of the corner point
![Page 7: Clew and tack Measurement Points](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56814388550346895db003ca/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Step 2
Hold the batten at its very ends with one end roughly where the corner
point will be and the other end touching the edge of the sail, held
firmly in place so it can’t move away from the edge

Step 3
Move the batten at the corner point end curving it until the LONGEST length of the batten touches the
sail edge

Step 5
Do the same with the other edge

Remember
ERS – H.5.3Attachments at a sail edge, other than a bolt rope and tabling, shall be ignored when measuring.
This does not cover attachments at the corner of a sail (remember edges and corners are different)
So, unless otherwise stated, corner attachments are included in measurement.
Attachments

Head Measurement Point
ERS - G.4.2
• Mainsail : The intersection of the luff, extended as necessary, and the line through the highest point of the sail at 90° to the luff.
(b) Headsail: The intersection of the luff, extended as necessary, and the line through the highest point of the sail, excluding attachments, at 90° to the luff.
(c) Spinnaker: The intersection of the leeches, extended as necessary

Where is the head point?
What are the limits on attachment size?
(At a mainsail head, attachments are included).

ERS – G.8.7
(a) At a Corner or an Edge(1) LENGTHAt the Head: The dimension from the head point along the luff or its extension to a line
through the highest point of the attachment at 90o to the luff.At the Tack: The dimension from the tack point along the luff or its extension to a line
through the lowest point of the attachment at 90o to the luff.At the Clew: The greatest dimension from the clew point.At an Edge: The greatest dimension from the sail edge.
