  from head to clew and the actual edge of leech
  (usually
• unmeasured area in racing rules)
• (5) Cringles
• (6) Cunningham hole

Safety

• 100 degree Rule
• If the temperature of the air and water combined
  is not greater than 100 degrees F, a wetsuit is
  needed.

33
Safety Equipment

• Life jackets for all passengers
• Anchor
• Bailing Device
• Horn
• Compass
• Tools
• First Aid Kit
• Supply of Water
• Fire Extinguisher

34
Right-of-Way

• A boat on a port tack shall give way to one on a
  starboard tack.
• If on the same tack, a windward boat shall give
  way to a leeward boat when on the same tack.
• A boat that is overtaking shall give way to a
  boat ahead, regardless to the type of vessels or
  tack.
• A boat coming about tacking or jibbing shall give
  way to a boat on a steady heading.

35
Right-of-Way

• When to give-way
• Overtaking any other vessel.
• The other vessel is confined by a narrow channel
  or by draft.
• The other vessel is not under command.
• The other vessel is engaged in towing or
  commercial fishing
• Above all
• You must do everything in your power to avoid a
  collision. Simply having the Right-of-Way DOES
  NOT relinquish all responsibility for a collision!

  construction
• Hike out to counter wind gusts
