Measurement - the base of rating system
Measurement - the base of rating system
Measurement is a fundamental part of any rating system. In order to have a boat's rating calculated, the boat’s characteristics need to be defined by taking the measurement of all parts that affect the boat's performance. The International Measurement System (IMS) is a set of rules that defines what and how is measured on the boat. By using IMS, the complete boat can be measured, including the hull shape, appendages, propeller, stability, rig and sails.
