The only thing stopping me is that it isn't a rule and that the closest measurer to me is 5 hours away. Otherwised i'd get my boat measured without hesistation. I absolutely agree that the US class should conform to the international rulesoon this.
I think a one time exception would be the best way to prevent unmeasured boats at events without having to turn them away. Just my 2 cents.
For a regional championship I like your idea of a "one time exception", but for a national championship it will take some convincing to provide an exception and if the event has the resources to get it done then no exception, IMO.
I'll be at Tradewinds and I'll have the scales, we could knock out a lot of boats. I'll also be at Spring Fever, same deal.
