On the West Coast we are planning on measuring boats this year. No one has really complained. Most of the other competitive sailing fleets require it and they are really good about it in Europe. The cost for a full measurement in the US is $175. That is not too much, and the measurement will go with the boat to the new owner. It is required to be able to sail the North Americans in Racine. Best thing is to get it out of the way before you are in dire need just before the event. I heard there would be some limited number of boats able to be measured at the event but it will not be too many as it does take some time.
