Limitations regarding Length and Freeboard are controlled by means of templates as shown in figure 1.

04.08.05 Access to the cabin shall be closed and locked on request of the Race Committee.
04.08.06 The cockpit(s) shall be essentially watertight and self-draining at all angles of heel. Cockpit drains shall have a total area of no less than 10 square centimetres.
