Measurement at the nationals.
Hi, I bet you are all wondering what I will be looking at this year
before the Nationals.
As always, I will measure anything someone requests that I look at on
your boat or a competitors. I will have board and rudder templates as
well as a tape measure, so know that we are always looking for any
changes that may fall outside the rule. Any boat that was not weighed
in 2008 or later, and has been modified, or repainted, will get
weighed. I have a list of corrected weights and can check the
continued placement of the required added weight. I am willing to
reweigh anyone who thinks their lead can be removed legally. All
sails must have a signed measurement and there will be sail
measurement times posted. Any Windmill club officer can assist you if
I’m not readily available.
In addition I will be doing a measurement of your mast band per the
new system for information only on each boat. Also I would like to
list what board you are using (long/short), what rudder shape, and
the total crew weight for your boat (one number for skipper & crew
combined- no weigh in required) for a story after the race. Let's
have fun out there & make this the best Nationals ever!
The Chief Measurer will be available for measurements.
Sails at the pavilion Wed 4-5 PM Thursday 7-8 AM 4-5PM.
Boat weight and other measurements Thursday 8-10 am and 3-4PM
Friday measurement by appointment 7-8:30 AM
As always I will do what I can when I can as needed but I promise to
be there at the times listed above.
