Can I answer a question with a question?

How does one get their boat measured?

Is there a cost to get a boat measured? If so, where does that money go and what is it used for?

Why get my boat measured? It's a stock boat with stock sails and unless it's required at regattas (which at this time, it is not, at least here in the states), why do it?

The last question was rhetorical.

I see the argument for measurement and agree that it will be needed as the fleet grows, but am playing devils advocate here. If we start measuring boats, how will unmeasured boats be handled when they show up to regattas? I don't think we're at a point yet where we can tell folks that they can't come out and play.
