Talk:International rule (sailing)

I just wonder why 4mR is no meter class : http://www.15m2-sns-class.ch/?page_id=27 if you compare to the rule of 8mR rule there is no big difference. Of course 4mR - 15m2 SNS is only on the swiss lakes active class with a big history - 1st boat build 1933. Most of the boat have smaller sail aera than 15m2 - you don't need a sailing licence to navigate with such a boat on swiss waters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1210:822A:5100:5586:98CF:9060:B3CD (talk) 05:13, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposal to merge The International Rule into International Rule (sailing)

 * Re. merge suggestion - these two pages are both on the same topic. they should be merged and then need some clean up. Dan-cfn 23:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ref proposal to merge. These two pages relate to exactly the same topic and should be merged. 193.32.3.83 08:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * These two pages relate to exactly the same topic and have similar levels of detail. 'International Rule (sailing)' is a very unambiguous title so I recommend that content of 'The International Rule' should be merged into 'International Rule (sailing)' Boatman 06:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

5 and 5.5 metre classes
These classes have their own rule formulas, they do not use International Rule...--Mikoyan21 (talk) 00:08, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree : 5.5 and 5 metre rules have not same formula as International Rule.
 * For 5m see Magazine Le Yacht, 1929
 * and site in french. For 5.5 it is well known. I am not able to edit in english here, it is better that an fluent in english user update this article. --Barbetorte (talk) 12:45, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I just modified fr:Jauge internationale in the Wikipédia in french. --Barbetorte (talk) 13:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Current Rule?
Three (measurement) rules are listed, the latest: "Third International rule, Used from 1933–1939.". Which rule is used since then (and for instance also for the America's Cup in the 1970ies)? 2001:7F0:400C:0:0:0:0:5 (talk) 14:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

4mR
Does the 4 meter class actually exist as something that can be verified with a credible sources? I've been searching for any information about it, but there doesn't seem to be anything outside of the linked Swiss website that mentions "15m2 SNS – 4mR" in the title, but if you'll go into the actual boats - they actually use "15" designation. It did not appear on any of the olympics, there are no books where it would be described (aside from a few mentions of a "4 meter class" that do not appear to directly refer to the International rule)... I am removing it from the article until a credibly sourced description of the class can be found. SkywalkerPL (talk) 13:19, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

First Internation Rule?
Is the coefficient of G one-half, as it says in this article, or one-third, as it says in 7 Metre? Got any good sources? Dicklyon (talk) 04:52, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
