According to the 1977 Decree, the slant length of the swallowtail edges should measure 1/2 hoist, thus 'cutting' an equilateral triangle. The horizontal distance from the innermost point of the swallowtail cut to the fly end of the flag is thus (0.5 H × sin 60º) or approximately 0.433 H where H is the hoist.
