World Sailing has taken a significant step toward standardising measurement and certification procedures across the sport after implementing the Universal Measurement System (UMS) for sailmakers.
The UMS represents the latest enhancement to World Sailing’s In-House Certification (IHC) programme and enables sailmakers to record and display key measurements on a single sail stamp, standardising certification procedures and streamlining communication with certifying authorities. This allows sails to be measured once using a process recognised by both international rating systems.
