Se consideran
embarcaciones de vela ligera aquellas, de menor
eslora, que han de ser varadas en tierra antes y
después de la navegación. Carecen de motor. Suelen
ser modelos con unas medidas, unos pesos y unos
aparejos idénticos, que regulan las diferentes clases
a las que pertenecen.

characterize


Explanation:
I think the sense of 'regular' here isn't regulate but more 'typical of' so characterize seems the most appropriate translation to me.

I freely admit an element of poetic license, though!!!!!!
