Measuring boats: it's not a popularity contest


Measuring boats ahead of Tokyo 2020 © World Sailing
You can't win an Olympic medal in sailing without having a fast boat. Just like in motor racing where winning comes from a combination of man and machine working together in harmony, the same is true in Olympic sailing.
To have fair competition, you need to know that everyone is operating within the rules, which is why every boat, board, mast, sail and foil must be inspected and checked over by a team of Event Measurers.
They are the sheriffs who are there to police the legality of the equipment, and to make sure no athlete is riding a coach and horses through the middle of the rule book. At Tokyo 2020, the sheriff-in-chief, the Head of the Equipment Inspection team, is Dimitris Dimou from Greece.
