Paragraph 21

Whales must be measured when at rest on deck or platform after 

 the hauling out wire and grasping device have been released, by 

 means of a tape-measure made of a non-stretching material. The 

 zero end of the tape-measure shall be attached to a spike or stable 

 device to be positioned on the deck or platform abreast of one end 

 of the whale. Alternatively the spike may be stuck into the tail 

 fluke abreast of the apex of the notch. The tape-measure shall be 

 held taut in a straight line parallel to the deck and the whale's 

 body, and other than in exceptional circumstances along the 

 whale's back, and read abreast of the other end of the whale. The 

 ends of the whale for measurement purposes shall be the tip of the 

 upper jaw or, in sperm whales, the most forward part of the head 

 and the apex of the notch between the tail flukes. 



Measurements shall be logged to the nearest foot or 0.1 metres. 

 That is to say, any whale between 75 feet 6 inches and 76 feet 6 

 inches shall be logged as 76 feet, and any whale between 76 feet 

 6 inches and 77 feet 6 inches shall be logged as 77 feet. Similarly, 

 any whale between 10.15 metres and 10.25 metres shall be logged 

 as 10.2 metres, and any whale between 10.25 metres and 10.35 

 metres shall be logged as 10.3 metres. The measurement of any 

 whale which falls on an exact half foot or 0.05 metre shall be 

 logged at the next half foot or 0.05 metre, e.g. 76 feet 6 inches' 

 precisely shall be logged as 77 feet and 10.25 metres precisely 

 shall be logged as 10.3 metres.
