CIM 2026 Rating Regulations

 

The CIM Extraordinary General Meeting of October 23, 2025, approved the 2026 CIM Measurement Rules. (FR) (GB) It was decided to extend the rules to 2026 to allow for continued work on incorporating sail measurements for mainsails and spinnakers, as the data collected in 2025 was not deemed sufficiently numerous and reliable to be directly integrated into the measurement formula. We will address this issue in 2026. The 2026 rules, in a revised format for greater readability, include several innovations, notably the definition of an "annual reference configuration" for each boat. This configuration allows for the integration of bonuses and penalties to be managed for each event, thus avoiding the need to repeatedly submit the "sail declaration form."

 

Details of these changes is presented in that separate document (FR) - (GB)
