NOTES ON REVISION 5 OF
36” SHIPMATE RULES
Effective 1 August 2004
The basic rules are unchanged with the exception of appendix “B” which corrects the positioning and dimensions of Sail Numbers. The layout and wording of the documents has been changed to eliminate unnecessary wording and repetition and to accommodate the new format for obtaining a Measurement Certificate. Construction drawings will be updated and will be available soon.
The Measurement Certificate has been simplified
Measurement Certificates (sheets 1 & 2) are changed to a single Measurement Form to be completed by the Measurer and forwarded to the National Measurer who will now issue the Measurement Certificate
Appendix “A” Dimension Diagram, is re-drawn for clarity and is now in “Word” format.
Appendix “B” Sail Number Diagram has been completely revised and is now in “Word” format.
Number sizes have been added and option to use numbers of sizes as used in the International classes is now allowed.
The number positions are a compromise of those previously specified at various times. The A and B suits are almost as the original dimensions but space has been made for an additional “1” if required. The C suit numbers have been lowered to avoid the lower batten and to allow for the additional “1’.
The Grandfather clause should cover the variations of the past.
