Meter Classes 



Meter class boats vary considerably in dimensions. That is, all boats in 

 a meter class closely resemble one another, but they are not nearly as 

 identical as one-designers. They differ in hull form and leading dimen- 

 sions, thus keeping alive the art of design; they all, however, fit within 

 the closely knit framework of the International Class Meter Rule, and 

 race together on level terms— without handicap. In other words, the boats 

 are designed under strict formula— they are sometimes called "formula 

 classes."
