The boat was measured friday morning, the last day of the Global Challenge. At that moment it was not found to be "uncompliant", however I don't think that a formal measurement certificate was issued. But I may be wrong there. We must remember that the measuring at the Global Challenge was not an official measuring but rather a check whether the boat was still in compliance with its measurement form that was created earlier. All crew were basically required to have their boats fully measured before the event and in a controlled environment. The beach side measuring only checked a few key measurements and as such was not exhaustive.

Either way the Texel rating system has no rating listed for the "AHPC Viper", and that is how Greg entered the distance race on the next day (saterday). The race committee apparently decided to allow the Viper to the race with a handicap set at 101. I know no further details about this situation.
