Education for Measurers

World Sailing’s Seminars and Clinics for Measures are intended to improve the standard of measurement and to assist people who wish to become an International Measurer.

Both are hosted by Member National Authorities.

Information about hosting an World Sailing’s Seminar or Clinic is available in the Race Officials Resource Centre.

An IM Seminar must allow for a minimum of 20 hours of instruction followed by the IM Written Test.

The IM Clinics are part of World Sailing’s programme to develop Measurement in target areas of the world.

An IM Clinic must allow for a minimum of 12 hours of instruction followed by a practical measurement session.
