IN MORE DETAIL
Looking in more detail at
the gear used at the world
championship, this data
covers about 90 percent
of the fleet of 143 boats.
As would be expected
British built hulls and sails
dominated in terms of
numbers, but masts and
booms were more spread
geographically.
In total there were
boats from 23 builders, of
which only six were current
production builders. The rest
were older boats as well as
14 homebuilds.
It’s also interesting
to look at the weight of
correctors, with less than 20
percent of the fleet carrying
the maximum weight of 5 kg.
Of the masts, Ceilidh and
C-Tech accounted for 94 per cent of equipment used.
There were 13 different sailmakers represented with the big four being
North, HD, Turtle and Green, accounting for 82 per cent of all sails measured
in (two sails allowed per boat).
There was also a diverse range of equipment within the top 10, with the top
four sailing different boats and six different sailmakers showing in the top 10.
