From the class association handbook: 8.14 SPINNAKER: The spinnaker may be of any woven material of weight no less than 1/2 oz. per yard. Only one spinnaker may be aboard while racing. No headboards or oversize grommets are permitted. 8.15 The size of the spinnaker shall not exceed any of the following dimensions: Head to clews: 15 feet, 3 inches Head to mid-foot: 16 feet, 0 inches Mid-foot to clews: 6 feet, 0 inches To measure head to mid-foot and mid-foot to clews, fold the sail vertically by bringing the clews together. All measurements shall be made in a straight line, with wrinkles removed and no tension on the cloth past removing wrinkles. 8.16 A 10 inch racing number only shall be affixed to at least one side of the spinnaker.
