E.2. JIB
E.2.1. The Jib shall have a luff perpendicular no greater than 4.370 m.
E.2.2. The Jib shall have a three-quarter width (measured as a headsail) no greater than 41% of
luff perpendicular.
E.2.3. The Jib shall be fitted with no more than six battens.
(a) Battens shall be no closer than 0.250 m to each other at any point.
(b) Battens shall pass through a 0.055 m diameter circle.
(c) Battens may consist of multiple elements that need not necessarily be attached to
one another, provided the batten is fitted within a single, continuous batten pocket,
and provided the multi-element array complies with (b) above.
(d) Battens shall not have a permanent bend or set, within a tolerance of 0.050 m over
their entire length.
(e) Battens shall not be adjusted while the Jib is set.
(f) Battens shall not be inflatable.
(g) Batten pockets shall not exceed 0.120 m in width measured normal to the longitudinal
axis of the batten.
(h) Battens shall be oriented not less than 30 degrees to the local luff, with the centreline
of the batten projected to the luff if necessary
E.2.4. The Jib shall have a maximum head width no greater than 20% of luff perpendicular.
E.2.5. The Jib shall have no battens below a line joining points 1.000 m above the clew point and
1.000 m above the tack point.
