Sails

• You will be able to measure in only two mainsails two jibs and two spinnakers for the World Championships.

• All sails must be measured by an official Fireball Class measurer or a World Sailing approved In-House Official Measurer prior to the regatta measurement.

• All sails must have a readable Fireball Class measurer signature and a measurement serial number.

• The mainsail and the spinnaker must have the correct sail number for the boat. The mainsail must have the correct country identification code.  Loan boats are exempt from having the correct sail number. But the mainsail sail number must be the same as the spinnaker sail number and be different to any other boat in the regatta.
