Racing rules of sailing

50.4 Headsails. For the purposes of rules 50 and 54 and Appendix G, the difference between a headsail and a spinnaker is that the width of a headsail, measured between the midpoints of its luff and leech, is less than 75% of the length of its foot. A sail tacked down behind the foremost mast is not a headsail.

Safety tip of the day

Whenever you submerse, cover your nose to prevent water entry and coughing when you surface.
