The formula used generally by all the clubs for determin- 

 ing rating is as follows : 



L + B + -75 G + -5 V S.A. 

 R = ~~2~" 



In this formula L = length on L.W.L. as now measured. B = 

 greatest beam wherever found. G = underwater girth of the vessel 

 from L.W.L. to L.W.L., taken at *6 of the loadwater line from its 

 fore end and measured along the actual outline of the vertical cross- 

 section at that station. If the draught forward exceeds the draught 

 at that station, twice such excess be added to G. In the case of 

 centreboard double the extreme depth of the board (when dropped 

 to its full extent below the keel) to be added to G. In taking these 

 measurements all hollows in the fore and aft underwater profile of 

 the vessel to be treated as filled up straight. Bulb or ballasted 

 boards to be measured in the same way as fixed or fin keels. S.A. 

 = sail area as now measured.
