All boats must pass measurement.  Some may be pre-measured before the event.  Measurement includes weighing of hulls, safety equipment checks, sail measurement (2 sets of sails may be measured).  Rudders, masts, and booms may also be measured. Equipment may be checked on the water during racing.  Boats must be registered (paid) with the Class for year with the current class decal on the hull.

Sailing Center

ENOSHIMA SAILING CENTER

The Enoshima Sailing Center is on the small island of Enoshima a short distance from the mainland community of Fujisawa.  The Sailing Center was first contricted for the 1960 Olympics and expanded and improved for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Enoshima can be reached by car or bike.  Fujisawa has many bike rental locations.

The venue has large slipways, so that boats are launched on dollies.
