For boat racing, an International Measurer of Sailing is a type of highly experienced race official who has two principal functions in the sport of sailing: certification control and regatta equipment inspection.
For classes of yachts that require it, measurers check that new equipment ( hulls, appendages, spas, sails, etc.) complies with class rules before it can be used in competition. Where required by the organizers of a regatta, measurers check that equipment during the regatta is compliant with class rules.
The most experienced measurers may become "International Measurers" recognised by the International Sailing Federation.
